America - Adrian DeDea

A crumpled sheet of gold foil fills the upper left of the canvas, every fold catching bright highlights and deep amber shadows. Behind it the whole ground is covered in loose, overlapping letters painted in red, white and pale blue, like a faded flag scrawled with graffiti.

Oil on canvas, painted in 2023, with the foil in precise, near-photographic detail. Adrian DeDea is a figurative painter in Düsseldorf, trained at the Academy of Art in Cluj-Napoca, who opens his subjects up to stylisation and abstraction. Available as a poster or fine art canvas print in multiple sizes.
