ACRYLIC AND GOLD LEAF<br />
ON CANVAS<br />
Sue Arrowsmith<br />
<strong>The</strong> foliage depicted in this piece has been<br />
meticulously recorded from life and traced from<br />
photography. However, by fl<strong>at</strong>tening the background<br />
to a gold-leaf plane, it takes on abstract forms.<br />
This minimalist approach bridges traditional<br />
landscape painting with the decor<strong>at</strong>ive arts.<br />
<strong>Art</strong>ist Sue Arrowsmith deploys her background in<br />
textile design to nod to historical luxury interiors<br />
of old, as the gold leaf radi<strong>at</strong>es like finest silk.<br />
