Silver and Gold is a beautiful painting that draws from the most elegant elements of collage art pieces to combine Silver and Gold is a beautiful painting that draws from the most elegant elements of collage art pieces to combine abstract and concrete elements into one lovely painting that possesses a great deal of depth and interest for any appreciator of art. Silver and Gold is composed of a set of canvases of the same size and shape. The dominant color of the painting is red, yet it is enhanced against brush strokes of many colors- from soft pinks to yellows to white. These various colors and layers of brush strokes create an interesting sense of texture in this original canvas painting. Beyond shades and layers of color, a tree springs from a point of calm. The spindly branches reach towards the edges of the canvas, but remain boxed in by a series of lines and shadows. This subject contrasts the rest of the painting in every possible way. Where the dominant brush strokes are haphazard and abstract, the lines that create the tree are very distinct and deliberate. The trees are of a single, dark tone, and their immediate background is created out of muted and matte shades of white and gold. This creates an interesting conversation between the subject and the rest of the painting, which is a very profound gesture on the part of the artist.

Not only is the scene depicted in Silver and Gold very unique, but the design of the piece is also quite original and befits the tone of the painting. The piece is spread across two separate canvas panels. These panels very nearly could stand alone as their own separate works, yet to hang them side by side creates another, different conversation among the elements of the painting. While the bulk of these two panels are similar there are details that are (quite meaningfully) different, such as the orientation of the shape that creates the background for the tree in each panel, and the colors in that shape. In addition to creating contrasts and interesting conversation points, the design of this piece allows the purchaser to hang it in many orientations and arrangements, which is always useful.
