LC0389

A composition about wisteria on a pergola. The flowers are set densely and turned every way, the cascade descending as a dense vertical cluster — the way an overgrown vine hangs when nobody has pruned it.

Saturated violet on gold is the boldest colour pairing in the catalogue. The author softens it with nothing: no white, no clear.

By day it is a deep blue-violet on gold stems — a dense colour read as a mass. In the evening light burns in the throat of every flower and lifts the petals from within: the violet becomes almost luminous and the gold beneath it goes white-hot. A waterfall on fire.

Where it works

Staircases, double-height spaces, window displays, interiors that are not afraid of colour. The saturated tone tints the air: neutral surfaces are needed nearby.

Style

Art Nouveau and Eastern opulence: wisteria as a classic subject. The message is bold and regal — a piece for an interior with character.
