Orchid

Orchid Michael R Fontana Fine ArtIn this painting, the artist provides a rare focal point demonstration of color in a painting that represents a close-up detail of the interior wall of an orchid plant flower. The painting was completed in 1986 and involved a structured process that included combining eight same-sized segments within the canvas using different color combinations and geometries in each. The resulting composition appears very well balanced and exhibits great dimensional depth and physical texture. Interestingly, while the structure of the painting draws the viewer into its central theme, (the orchid), the color application provides significant opportunity for an observer to move into other contemplative considerations. The medium includes oil-based artist paint on primed canvas, measuring 24 in. by 30 in.
