Brian Dunning (https://www.madmaingallery.com/artists-mixed-media/ -brian) has created a dynamic abstract composition layered with expressive brushwork, textured surfaces, and bold contrasts of black, violet, silver, and warm rust tones. Sweeping gestures and fragmented forms create a sense of movement and improvisation,
inviting viewers to discover shifting impressions
of energy, rhythm, and depth within the piece.
Bold ribbons of saturated color flow through this striking abstract composition, creating a sense of movement, energy, and depth. Rich jewel tones and fluid forms make the piece both dramatic and sophisticated — a contemporary statement artwork that transforms any interior space. Artwork by Gallery working member Kim Frederick-Law.
