It is loud, insistent and gloriously excessive - everything that Spring, after a long winter, has every right to be. This first painting in Alice Gavin Atashkar’s Dartlands series captures that audacious joy: vivid pinks and reds erupting through dense canopy, painted in bold acrylic on linen with the artist’s characteristic energy and depth. Alice has spoken of her belief in ‘thin places’ - moments where the sacred breaks through the ordinary - and there is something of that quality here, in the almost overwhelming abundance of the scene. Inspired by Dartlands Nature Reserve in North London, this is a work about place as much as plant, the particular wildness of a local landscape that most people walk past without really seeing. It performs exceptionally well in homes that aren’t afraid of colour; a dining room or kitchen that can take a bold focal point, or a living space with rich, saturated furnishings that want a painting to match their confidence. For collectors looking to invest in a work that can be shown alone or built into something larger, this piece and its companions in the Dartlands series offer real flexibility. Presented in a floating Obeche wood frame, ready to hang.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtist: Alice Gavin Atashkar\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYear: 2026\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e60cm x 80cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMedium: Acrylic on Linen\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFramed: Floating frame in Obeche\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"One of a Kind","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58024514978117,"sku":null,"price":950.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0973\/3305\/1717\/files\/IMG_7804.png?v=1779358039","url":"https:\/\/oneofakindstudio.co.uk\/products\/may-contain-hope-rhododendrons-in-dartlands-springtime-1","provider":"One of a Kind","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
