What Now by Alfred Currier

Oil on canvas — impasto. Two blue-black birds perch on a gnarled branch among viridian, cadmium yellow, and burnt sienna foliage. Golden ochre accents read as blooms. The pale cerulean sky is the only open space. The birds are precisely rendered; the surrounding foliage is gestural — Currier's consistent approach: the subject is specific, the context is loose. An entry into his bird series at a collector-accessible price. Oil on canvas. $3,200. International shipping available.
