自然金色 2020

王新福 made this painting titled 自然金色 with layers of yellows, greens, and browns seemingly applied with palette knives. The texture in this piece is intense; it looks like the paint is built up in thick, luscious strokes. You can almost feel the physicality of the medium, imagining the artist pressing and swiping, each gesture leaving a trace. Near the middle, there's a swirl of green and white that catches the eye, a momentary pause in the golden chaos. This particular mark, with its cool tones, seems to anchor the composition, providing a contrast to the warmth that otherwise dominates. It's kind of like looking at a landscape through a kaleidoscope. Think of Van Gogh's swirling skies, but with a more grounded, earthy palette. Ultimately, this painting embraces ambiguity, inviting us to lose ourselves in its textured surface and find our own meanings within its swirling depths.
