Black and Blues (2025)Acrylic painting
by Newel Hunter

The artwork is an abstract composition in black, blue and white, featuring a dynamic blend of brushstrokes and textured layers that stretch horizontally across the canvas. The left side contains a dense, cloud-like mass of darker blue tones and intricate textural details, resembling an ethereal, smoky formation. As the eye moves to the right, the strokes become more vertical and elongated, with contrasting areas of solid black and softer gray gradients that create a sense of movement and rhythm. The interplay between thick, bold marks and more delicate, diffused areas adds depth and complexity to the piece, while the stark white background enhances the dramatic impact of the dark forms.

This piece creates a visually engaging experience that evokes a sense of mystery and energy. The fluidity of the brushwork invites viewers to interpret the forms freely, sparking the imagination with its organic yet striking presence. What works particularly well here is the balance between chaos and control—the rough, almost turbulent textures on the left contrast beautifully with the more structured, vertical strokes on the right, suggesting a narrative of transformation or tension. Perfectly Hunter.
