This ethereal oil painting by Alison Johnson captures the mystical essence of a cosmic storm. Rich purple hues dominate the canvas, while delicate touches of gold leaf and creamy whites create bursts of celestial light that pierce through the darkness. Johnson's signature layering technique brings remarkable depth to the composition, with sweeping brushstrokes that suggest movement and energy.
The artist's masterful handling of light and shadow creates an atmospheric piece that hovers between abstraction and representation. The dramatic central focal point explodes outward, reminiscent of the natural phenomenon that inspired it, while maintaining the delicate balance between power and grace that characterises Johnson's work.
