Early Spring: May Contain Hope II

A companion to May Contain Hope I, this second painting in the series returns to the blackthorn blossom that heralds early Spring along the hedgerows and nature reserves of North London. In Alice Gavin Atashkar’s hands, the subject becomes something philosophical as much as botanical - a recurring motif of hope against bare branches that speaks to her belief in the restorative power of natural cycles. May Contain Hope II has its own distinct energy: the same expressive acrylic-on-linen technique, the same luminous white blossoms, but a different angle and rhythm of mark-making that gives each canvas its individual character. It performs well in homes that already have a botanical or nature-led aesthetic and are looking for a piece that adds depth and narrative rather than just colour. For collectors looking to acquire a pair - whether to hang together as a considered installation or in two separate rooms that share a thread - May Contain Hope I and II make an exceptionally coherent combination. Available unframed at 70 x 100cm.
