Abstract Crosses (2025) Original Mixed-media Painting by Lu Dixon

16.54 x 23.39"

$393.73

Abstract Crosses is a contemporary mixed-media artwork exploring the relationship between spiritual symbolism, structure, and human connection.

Built from layers of ochre, charcoal and aged parchment tones, the piece has a rich, weathered quality that invites closer inspection. Rhythmic dot patterns, expressive intersecting lines and textured marks create a sense of movement across the surface, while transparent layers reveal glimpses of what lies beneath.

At the heart of the composition, a series of crosses emerge from the layered, fragmented background. The cross is used here not simply as a religious symbol, but as a visual meeting point - representing connection, variety, balance and the different paths that come together throughout life.

The contrast between strong geometric forms and more organic, imperfect textures gives the work both stability and movement. Each layer contributes to a sense of history, suggesting something gradually uncovered rather than immediately revealed.

With its earthy, neutral palette and contemporary abstract language, Abstract Crosses would sit naturally within a minimalist, modern or industrial interior. It is equally suited to a living space, study or home office, where its subtle symbolism and tactile surface can be appreciated over time.

A contemplative statement piece for collectors drawn to abstract art with depth, texture and meaning.

Materials used:

Mixed media using acrylics, inks, watercolour, gesso, collage papers and stencils, creating layered textures and expressive surface detail.

About
I create art because I am fascinated by what can happen when colour, texture, pattern and mark-making are layered together. My mixed media work is very much about experimentation -... Read more
