‘Commitment’ Abstract By Julie Chadbourne

Description

Julie Chadbourne

The acrylic abstract painting captures the exhilarating energy of a downhill skier speeding towards the finish line, surrounded by cheering crowds.
The crowds lining the edge of the course and gathered at the finish are rendered in impasto, their forms abstracted into textured mounds of colour — dashes of green, orange, purple, and pink. The thick, raised paint creates a sense of depth and liveliness. The white background contrasts sharply with the colourful figures.
Overall, the painting uses abstract shapes and heavy texture to convey the thrill of the race and the vibrant atmosphere of the event. The thick application of paint gives the scene a tactile quality, making the viewer feel as if they can almost touch the excitement of the moment.
