Original Abstracted Composition of Coral Reef by Dave Francis
Unique and vivid abstracted composition of coral reef by California artist Charles "Dave" Francis (American, 1951-2018). Blended and merging tropical hues of magenta, yellow, cyan, red and cobalt with the bleeding out of the colors around the coral add focal point but serve to create a serene and balanced composition. This painting can be hung vertically or horizontally.
Unsigned, but was acquired with a collection of the artist's work.
New black acid-free mat
Image size: 16"H x 23"W

Charles David "Dave" Francis (American, 1951-2018) was an artist from Santa Cruz, California. He worked in acrylic and stained glass, specifically because the two methods are so dissimilar: "My paintings are very loose and expressive while my stained glass is structured and very much "within the lines". Painting is an exploration and discovery process. I put paint down in many layers until I produce an image I find exciting. In contrast, my stained glass requires a lot of planning and very exacting execution."

Coral Reef was made underwater at the depth of 6 meters
