CHERRY BLOSSOM I Painting

Acrylic, heavy structure medium, spray paint, resin, and metallic leaf on canvas. Framed in a matte black tray frame. Cherry Blossoms are the symbolic flower of Spring – a time of renewal. In this collection, Magee fuses vibrant pools of violet and magenta with reflective resin and texture to create depth and draw the viewers’ gaze upwards along the canvas - resembling a blossoming tree. Tied to the Buddhist themes of mortality, mindfulness and living in the present, Japanese cherry blossoms are a timeless metaphor for human existence and the brilliance, fragility and transience of life.
