Excited to share the latest addition to my shop: Mountain Building 1 - A 32" x 24" x 1 1/2" (80 x 60 x 3.8 cm) original acrylic abstract artwork on gallery wrapped stretched cotton canvas in portrait orientation. Part of my Molten Earth Series. This painting illustrates the birth of mountains caused by the application of heat, pressure, and movement. The processes of the deposition, erosion, intrusion, compression, folding, thrusting, and subduction are represented here in the appearance, disappearance, and morphing of bands of reds, oranges, browns, and golds.
My Molten Earth series is inspired by the natural sciences, change, and the power of the earth itself. The series seeks to explore our planet's ultimate ability to enact change independent of human agency by examining the affects that heat and energy have on geology, geography, landscapes, and meteorology.
FYI: There is another one of this series in the same size and colour pallet that I previously posted entitled Molten Cone Rising 1. Together, they are two of my favourites and are currently hanging out, one to either side of our living room fireplace/mantel.
Thanks for checking it out.
Triple thanks to everyone who posts a comment with feedback.
