Undone - Original
Original painting
ORIGINAL ARTWORK
Acrylic on Canvas
24" × 30"
Hangs both vertically and horizontally
Undone emerged during a period of exploration — an intentional shift away from the known and into a more open, responsive process. Built in layers and then partially taken back, the painting holds the tension between structure and erasure. Lines are traced, softened, and obscured; forms appear, then recede.
There is a sense of what once was — still present, but no longer fixed.
Working with a restrained palette and gestural mark-making, the composition reveals itself slowly. Areas of translucence allow earlier decisions to remain visible beneath the surface, creating depth without weight. What remains is not absence, but refinement — a quiet editing that brings clarity through removal.
Both grounded and in motion, Undone reflects a moment of transition in the studio: a search for new language, new rhythm, and a different way of seeing.
This 1.5" gallery wrapped canvas features silver painted edges, is wired and ready to hang, and signed and dated on the back. One of a kind.

Stretching and framing details are unique to each work and those specifics are noted in the product description.

From the studio
“I can fall madly in love with the sparkle from the edge of a gold glass vase, or obsess over the texture of a stone found along a walk. As a way to hold onto these bits of beauty, I started creating art.”
— Julia Contacessi
