Where Orange Cardinal burns, Blue Cardinal pulses. The bird is painted in deep crimson and red — vivid, urgent, the impasto marks building the plumage with real physical presence — set against a ground of near-black alive with turquoise blue paint splashes and the stencilled ghost of letters — ABC, L — that drift through the dark behind it like the beginning of something or the remnant of something else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe chalk pastel marks bring a softness to the surface that the acrylic beneath refuses to have — a deliberate tension between media that gives the painting a quality that shifts as the light changes. The blue splashes are generous and completely unapologetic, landing on the bird and the ground alike with the cheerful irreverence of paint that has decided where it wants to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe black frame holds it all — the red, the blue, the dark, the letters — with the quiet authority of something that knows the work inside it is doing something worth containing properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eBlue Cardinal and Orange Cardinal\u003c\/em\u003e together make one of the strongest small-format pairs in the collection.
