Forge II is part of the Banksia series and depicts the element of regeneration and strength. This large abstract uses acrylic, gold leaf and charcoal with collage. There are beautiful areas of layered translucent paper and gold leaf to create an elegant opulence. The background is matte and the plants are glossier creating depth and contrast.

There is a companion piece- available to purchase separately if you require a painting over 3m in length. If it is sold , I can create another complimentary piece.
