Original artwork description:

“Ascension” features a bold, sweeping brushstroke rendered in white against a stark, black vertical rectangular background. The white stroke has an organic, gestural quality, with varying textures and gradations of opacity that create a sense of movement and depth. The brushwork transitions smoothly from denser, more opaque areas to lighter, more translucent ones, suggesting a nuanced control of the medium. The surrounding black area is textured, providing a contrast that frames and accentuates the central white form. The vertical composition conveys a sense of ascent or flow, which enhances the piece’s expressive power.

Like much of Hunter’s art, the piece plays with contrast and simplicity to evoke an emotional and contemplative response. The minimalist palette places emphasis on form and texture, allowing the viewer to focus on the dynamic energy of the brushstroke itself. There is a graceful tension between chaos and control here—the form is spontaneous yet deliberate, inviting viewers to find their own interpretation within the abstraction.

Ascension is painted with acrylic on a 24 x 48 x .188 inch (3/16) hardboard panel, ready to frame. It comes carefully packaged and shipped in a double thick cardboard box for maximum protection. Accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity.
