"Purple Spirals" Abstract Geometric Gouache by Wesley Johnson

Purple Spirals is an abstract geometric gouache artwork by Californian artist Wesley Johnson, tuned into the profound layers of its vibrations.

At first glance, the composition resonates with us through its confident utilization of a varied palette of purples—ranging from dark to more subdued and clear shades. Purple is often associated with notions of nobility, power, and tranquility, qualities Johnson taps into effectively. As we delve deeper into the feeling-based landscape of the painting, it becomes apparent that this color choice plays a pivotal role in defining the viewer’s involvement.

Similarly, the use of rounded shapes and spirals contributes to the gravitational pull of the artwork. These forms wind and evolve across the canvas, fostering visual continuity while simultaneously conferring a sense of dynamism. The spiral, often considered a universal symbol of growth and evolution, invites viewers to journey through the piece’s layered interactions. As one studies the edges and contours, the spirals shift between perceptions of both expansion and confinement, evoking, in a thought-provoking contrast, a visceral sensation of movement or restraint.

This painting is offered in an elegant gold frame. It exemplifies the interconnectedness of color and shape, articulating deeper, introspective realities. Johnson seeks to trap our thoughts and reactions within its intricate weave, forging an experiential relationship that transcends the simple visual encounter.
