Let It Grow (2025) Original Collage by Dave Popino

This artwork is a set of four individual canvases, arranged to form a larger image with a central white cross separating the panels. The overall impression is one of dynamic, radiating energy, due to the striped pattern that emanates outwards from the center of each quadrant.

The dominant colors are various shades of green and gold, with hints of brown, black, and bluish-green. The design is created using a wide variety of hand-made fine-art papers in a somewhat abstract or impressionistic style. Many of the stripes, particularly the gold ones, have a shimmering or glittery quality, adding to the sense of light and movement.

The composition suggests a natural theme, suggesting a close-up of foliage, or abstract representations of light filtering through a canopy. The radiating lines create a sense of depth and perspective, drawing the viewer’s eye towards the central void. The contrast between the organic, textured patterns and the stark, geometric white cross is quite striking.
