Maggi Hambling CBE
Sunrise Heart
Silkscreen Print
Image Size: 380 X 500 mm
Paper Size: 585 X 750 mm
Sunrise Heart is alive with
movement and
texture; the paint seems ready to leap from the
canvas. Flashes of red and orange capture that vital and optimistic
event:
sunrise.
The perfect balance between the dense black and the emerging
swathes of colour form a composition that
seems it might change like the reflections in the
sea or the clouds in the sky.
