MIDNIGHT GARDEN EXPLOSION Acrylic on Canvas | 76" × 56" | 2024


This is not a painting of a garden. This is a painting of what a garden actually is — which is a cosmos.

Midnight Garden Explosion is a monumental work and one of the most significant in this body of work to date. At 76×56 it demands to be stood in front of rather than looked at — the scale creating an immersive experience in which the viewer does not observe the garden so much as enter it, surrounded on all sides by allium heads the size of planets, eryngium thistle in electric blue, burgundy globes on tall stems, the acid yellow of a background that is simultaneously sunlight and energy and the particular frequency at which the natural world vibrates when it is at full capacity.

Nature as a cosmos. That is the idea and it is everywhere in this painting — the allium heads are galaxies, the thistle heads are nebulae, the whole composition a universe of biological complexity rendered at a scale that makes the cosmic and the botanical indistinguishable from each other. Because they are not distinguishable. The same mathematics that governs the spiral of a galaxy governs the spiral of a seed head. The garden has always known this. The painting simply makes it visible.

The surface is extraordinary — every flower head built up with sustained, devoted attention, the blue of the eryngium achieved through layered marks that give it a depth and iridescence that shifts as you move. The yellow ground blazes. The burgundy globes anchor. The whole composition holds together with the impossible logic of something that should be too much and is, instead, exactly enough.

This is painting as an act of reverence for the natural world — the garden not as decoration but as testament. As proof that the universe is not somewhere out there but right here, in every seed head, in every spiral, in every garden that has ever been left alone long enough to become itself.

Midnight Garden Explosion is a once painting. There will not be another one like it.

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.
