Ardor, 2026. 6 x 6 x 1.5 in.

$350.00

Description

A surface split between craving and fury. Ardor considers the emotional pull love has on us — how it simultaneously enrages and compels, how the vulnerability of craving something coexists with the rage of being destabilized by it. Desire and fury occupying the same field, neither yielding to the other.

Fuchsia and red meet across the canvas, the stones blending at the fault line where the two colors collide. The tension between them is unresolved. It was never going to be.

Framing

The artwork is presented in a simple floating frame for photography and safe transit. This framing is not intended as a permanent design element and may be replaced to suit the collector’s space.

Materials

Acrylic, canvas, glass rhinestones, adhesive.

Technique

A painted ground establishes the base field, over which hundreds of rhinestones are hand-placed one by one to create a dense reflective surface. The interaction between matte paint and faceted stone allows light, texture, and depth to shift with the viewer’s movement.

Shipping and Inclusions

Shipping is included with all acquisitions. Each work is secured in custom-built packaging or professional crating, determined by the specific dimensions and structural requirements of the piece. Artwork is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity. To ensure the longevity of the work, a curated conservation kit is included. This contains a selection of glass rhinestones in every size utilized on the specific panel, housed in glassine envelopes for future professional conservation or repair if ever required.
