For the Joy of Summer...

Summer does something Alice Gavin Atashkar can't entirely explain and doesn't try to: it accelerates. The foliage thickens almost overnight, the colours stop being subtle and start demanding to be seen, and the whole of the natural world seems to lean forward with an energy that is almost impatient. For the Joy of Summer... catches that feeling at its peak: a painting in acrylic on linen where the brushwork quickens, the greens multiply, and pops of colour zing through the composition with an almost musical rhythm. It is the most exuberant work in the collection - the season at full volume. The ellipsis in the title is deliberate. This is not a painting that resolves into a neat conclusion; it invites you to complete the thought with whatever summer means to you. It performs beautifully in homes that want energy and warmth on the wall; a dining room that comes alive in the evenings, a kitchen that already hums with colour, or a sitting room where the light falls generously and a painting can breathe. For collectors looking for a work that holds the optimism of the season all year round, this is a piece that delivers a 'joy-pop' (to use Alice's own phrase) every time you walk past it. Available unframed on linen.
