This bold abstract impressionist world map exudes a robust, industrial look with its turbulent composition of twisted, rusty orange, burnt sienna and molten metal tones. The shapes of the continents are suggested by heavily textured, sinuous brushstrokes that move like a heady, molten mass. Deep, dark blue-grey torrents contrast sharply with bright, white-hot tones, creating a sense of intense heat and energy.
The dense impasto paint textures have a rough, oxidised surface that evokes a landscape of eroded metals and industrial runoff. This piece would fit perfectly into an industrial-inspired loft-style interior with a raw, urbane aesthetic. The molten, rusty colour mix and raw, untamed movement of the brushwork would make a great counterpart to industrial design elements such as steel, concrete and brick walls.
For a sophisticated, contemporary empty space with a muscular look, this is a fascinating metaphor for the cycle of urban development, decay and regeneration of our ever-changing world. A striking addition that gives immediate impact.
