Duet

In painting, unexpected forms sometimes emerge like visitors from another realm. In Duet, two figures appeared unbidden, their presence neither fully articulated nor entirely concealed. These forms appear to engage in a silent call and response, evoking the musicality implied by the title-their interaction ambiguous yet intimate and compelling. The dialogue between them is heightened by the painting’s surface with its tactile, almost sculptural, quality.

The muted palette amplifies the emotional charge of the black forms and allows the lyrical marks to resonate. The painting’s layered construction hints at hidden messages and histories, rewarding close observation with glimpses of meaning beneath the surface.

Duet is a work that invites contemplation, offering a space where abstraction becomes a vessel for connection, and where the boundaries between the seen and the felt are rendered beautifully porous.

Original abstract art by artist Wanda Oliver executed in oil paint and cold wax medium on Stonehenge oil paper and then mounted on a cradled board, 16x20x1.5".  

The cradled board is wired and ready to hang.  It is designed to accommodate a floating frame, but no frame is necessary.
