GOTH DREAM

More about GOTH DREAM

A highly textured impasto oil painting, resembling the style of Vincent van Gogh, depicts a fantastical landscape. A large, textured white full moon dominates the upper center of the canvas, casting a bright glow. The sky transitions from a fiery red and orange at the top, immediately around the moon, to shades of yellow and blue further away. Silhouetted against this vibrant sky are dark, gothic-like buildings with towering spires, resembling a fantastical city or castles. Two distinct dark-foliaged trees are visible, one on the left and another smaller one on the right, curving inward towards the center.

In the foreground, a winding river or stream flows from the bottom center, reflecting the bright moonlight and the varied colors of the sky and surroundings with streaks of white, yellow, orange, blue, and black. The banks of the river are adorned with a riot of colorful, thick impasto flowers and foliage, primarily in reds, oranges, yellows, greens, and blues. The brushstrokes are thick and erratic, creating a swirling, dynamic effect throughout the entire painting. The overall impression is one of a magical, dreamlike, and intensely colorful nocturnal scene, executed with a heavy, sculptural application of paint.
