ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Hope springs eternal in the human breast; Man never Is, but always To be blest. The soul, uneasy, and confin'd from home, Rests and expatiates in a life to come. Alexander Pope Wietzie created "Hope Springs Eternal" with a painting knife using a unique impasto technique, which adds texture and movement to express an inner emotional state. Working in a bold, colourful and inventive gestural style, Wietzie’s work is characterized by their luminous layers of colour. Soft shades of taupe and grey forms the backdrop for a flowerscape composition. The flowers are done impasto with shades of yellow, burnt orange, warm white and hues of grey with touches of black and ochre. This painting is ready to hang and is on a gallery wrap canvas. The substantial canvas thickness allows the painting to shine without any frame required, because the canvas thickness gives it the depth necessary to create noticeable perspective and distance from the wall.

Abstract art can establish a line of communication directly from the artist's inner vision to the viewer's imagination and elicit a specific emotional response. I am inspired by nature and poetry, and I paint the world as I see it- imperfect and in constant change. ​ My work is part of the French Lyrical Abstract art movement, depicted by emotive, expressive, and imaginary compositions that emphasis colour and shape. I create my work through a unique technique of vigorous knife strokes that creates a textured and layered surface full of impasto markings. Thereafter I use sweeping thick movements of paint in a dynamic spontaneous manner that depict the ephemeral nature of light and the passing of time. ​
