Three Bursts of Becoming
$2,200.00
Three Bursts of Becoming is an original abstract painting by New Zealand artist Sue Mac Dougall. An expressive abstract flora painting exploring growth, balance, and emergence, the work features layers of warm oranges, magenta reds and hot pinks that create energy and movement, contrasted by calming teal blues and greens that bring depth and harmony. Three soft white floral forms float within the composition, offering gentle moments of pause and reflection. This work invites the viewer to slow down and discover new details over time, from bold colour relationships to subtle mark making and texture. The white forms act as quiet focal points, allowing the surrounding colour to breathe and creating a sense of rhythm across the canvas. Part of the artist’s ongoing flora series, Three Bursts of Becoming is a joyful yet contemplative statement piece, created as a large-scale painting designed to bring warmth, vitality and a sense of unfolding beauty into a space.
