Emerald

2022
oil on canvas
90 x 90cm

Emerald is a rich, deeply satisfying painting — a square canvas full of the green that gives it its name. Not the bright green of nature, but the darker, more complex green of something precious: deep, mineral, and full of light.

The surface is built from Cindy’s characteristic layered brushwork, with tonal variation across the canvas that prevents the eye from settling in one place. This is a painting to live with — one that reveals something new each time you look.

Emerald suits a contemporary interior where a single strong work is asked to do the work of the whole room. It would be equally at home in a boutique hotel room, a home study or a boardroom.
