Original mixed media abstract oil painting by Stevenjohn McHugh titled "Thicket" diptych. Each panel measures 19.5" x 15" x 1.5. Framed size is 20.25" x 15.75 x 2.5". Mixed media with oil stick, marker, oil, graphite, charcoal and cold wax on Arches oil paper glued on wood panel with PH balance glue. Side of wood cradle (solid wood) is varished natural. Signed on front and back. Framed is a vanished gallery frame solid wood.
"Thicket"consists of a diptych, two separate panels that are meant to be viewed together as a single piece. Each panel features an abstract landscape composition with a dense overlay of brushstrokes and shapes. The color palette is predominantly in shades of blue and green, with variations ranging from light aqua to deep navy, interspersed with hints of white and occasional touches of other colors that add depth and contrast.
The brushwork is dynamic and energetic, with a mix of straight and curved lines, creating a sense of movement throughout the composition. The overall effect is one of a lush, vibrant thicket or a complex interweaving of natural elements, reminiscent of foliage or a fragmented view into a forested landscape.
The frames of the panels are simple and unadorned gallery floating frame with a light wood tone that warmly complements the cool hues of the artwork. Together, these two canvases create a visual dialogue through their mirroring and continuation of shapes and colors, drawing the viewer's eye back and forth between them and inviting contemplation of the fluid, intertwining forms.
