ALCHEMY Acrylic & Collage on Canvas | 30" × 40"


Something is connecting. Something is becoming something else.

Alchemy maps a molecular structure across a deep black ground — nodes and bonds rendered in turquoise, yellow, red, pink and white, the geometry of matter at the moment just before transformation. It looks like a chemistry diagram drawn by someone who understood that the most interesting thing about molecules is not what they are but what they are about to become. The collage fragments embedded in several of the nodes add a further layer — fragments of text, of print, of the world made paper, caught inside the structure like information encoded at the atomic level.

The palette is joyful and precise simultaneously — each connection a different colour, each node a slightly different weight, the whole system balanced on the edge of something. Order that is one bond away from becoming chaos. Chaos that is one bond away from becoming order. The title says it exactly — this is the painting of transformation itself, the moment the base thing becomes the precious one.

Against the black ground the colours are luminous and almost three-dimensional — the nodes lifting off the canvas, the bonds connecting them with the clean confidence of something that knows exactly what it is doing even if we are still figuring it out.

Alchemy. The map of how things change.

FAQ

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We offer free shipping on most works, with shipping costs (when applicable) never exceeding 10% of the piece's price. Large canvases ship rolled in a professional tube; oversized works requiring special packaging may be an exception, and we're happy to provide a quote. International collectors are responsible for any duties and taxes upon arrival.

Can I receive my painting already stretched and framed?

Large works ship rolled by default for safety in transit. If you'd prefer your piece delivered already on stretcher bars, contact us before purchasing for a separate shipping quote at your own expense. If you're interested in framing, reach out to claire@clairepriceartist.com to discuss your vision — we're happy to provide quotes and mockups to help you visualize the finished piece.

What if I'm not happy with my purchase?

Returns are accepted within 30 days of receiving the work. Choosing an artwork is a deeply personal experience, and we'll do our best to help place the right piece in your home — if something isn't right, contact us immediately and we'll try to facilitate an exchange or, if necessary, a refund. For returns, the client is responsible for the cost of shipping and insuring the piece back to us; once it arrives safely, a full refund is issued minus shipping and related expenses.

Is each piece truly one of a kind?

Yes — every original is a unique, one-of-one work, signed by the artist on the front and/or back, and shipped with a certificate of authenticity establishing provenance. The artist retains all copyright to the image, and reserves the right to reproduce it as prints or use it in future projects, at her discretion.

Do you take custom commissions?

Occasionally, by inquiry. Commission pricing is calculated at $4.50 per square inch, with a 50% non-refundable deposit required to begin. Contact us to discuss your piece and confirm availability.
