Hurricane Amanda by Charles Churchill Villiers
36″x36″ Oils on Canvas, framed.
sold (Coulson Collection)
One of a series of non-objective modern abstract paintings by Charles Villiers, each was named for a love in his life in the way that storms are named.
This particular piece really caught my attention, I like the square format and the custom metal floater framing. It’s a modern abstract with heavy impasto oils on Egyptian canvas.
Each in this series had varying scale, shape and framing details. It’s quite difficult to create a painting this way and I admire how almost sculptural it is.
Upon hanging the painting in the Coulson’s space I was struck by how even the subtlest colors emerged, how the textures were pronounced by the natural side lighting and I saw for the first time the Artist’s intent in displaying it suspended on bolts standing off the wall surface.
