This vibrant serigraph with hand-applied acrylic paint details bursts with energy and gestural movement on a fiery orange paper ground. Rendered in bold indigo and navy blue lines, three vessels fill the bottom of the composition with long, flourishing fronds and looping floral tendrils erupt upward, echoing the organic forms of Chihuly’s iconic glass sculptures. Lively splatters of emerald and lime greens and metallic silver give the piece a tactile, painterly depth.  Chihuly's signature flourishes dramatically across the lower foreground in thick, metallic chrome paint. Embodying the artist's expressive studio drawing style, the print seamlessly bridges Chihuly’s two-dimensional masterworks with his legendary passion for glass sculpture and Japanese floral arrangement.
