Wee Hours

With a more gestural, contemporary feel, this artwork brings its movement, light, and energy to the fore, while creating layers with texture. Intense strokes fuse layers over layers of blues, greens, yellow, white, and pink. The painting’s substantial impasto texture is accentuated by the glossy sheen of the oils used to create and preserve it, giving the artwork depth and character that can be gazed upon for hours. For art enthusiasts looking for Contemporary Fine Art in Austin, Coral Talavera’s pieces provide a beautiful fusion of color and texture.

From the artist:

“I’m not much of a night owl, but a good friend has helped me appreciate the quiet and stillness of the night. Sometimes we all need a bit of solitude to visit new places in our work.”

About the collection:

From the smallest flick of the brush to the largest gestures on the canvas, this collection is a celebration of color, energy, and movement. With the Traces series, Contemporary Artist Coral Talavera works on layers upon layers of color and texture, while exploring the effect of brushstrokes with sizes, shapes, and different forces, through works inspired by the abstract expressionist icons. With a more contemporary feel than her previous works, the artist moves into a more dramatic narrative of action and attention. “In a micro-perspective, every brushstroke matters. In a macro view, every action has a ripple effect on ourselves and others. This collection results from a meditation on these notions.”
