"Elements" is a stunning mixed media original painting by the talented artist Steven McHugh. The piece measures 20" x 16" and is created using a combination of oil and cold wax, crayons, charcoal and graphite, paint splatters and drips, and mark making. The painting is presented on a wood panel and framed with a gallery floating frame that is clear varnished , adding a sophisticated touch to this unique artwork. This piece is a true celebration of textures and colors, making it an unforgettable addition to any art collection.
 
"Elements" employs a vibrant and striking palette, featuring prominent splashes of yellow that dominate the central section. This vivid yellow is contrasted with areas of red, blue, black, white, and subtle hints of pink and green.
 
The composition is energetic and layered, showcasing a variety of textures and brushstrokes that suggest a dynamic and spontaneous application of paint. There are areas where the paint appears to be dripped or splattered, while others show more deliberate linear or curved markings. A notable feature includes a rough green circle near the bottom left, which stands out against the red background.
 
This painting has an expressive quality, with forms and lines intersecting and overlapping, creating an intricate and possibly emotionally charged visual landscape. The absence of recognizable figures or objects places the focus on color, form, and the physicality of the paint itself, inviting viewers to interpret the imagery based on their perceptions and emotions.
