Tiger eye
tiger eye
A contemporary art piece, captures the wild essence and mystical allure of a tiger’s eye in a striking and avant-garde manner. Set against a pristine white canvas, this artwork is a bold statement in minimalism and abstract expression.
The central focus of the painting is a meticulously rendered black circle, symbolizing the pupil of an eye. Within this circle sits a singular dot, anchoring the piece with its simplicity and depth. This representation of an eye is more than a visual element; it’s a portal into the untamed and instinctual world of the tiger, a creature revered for its strength and grace.
Radiating out from this central eye is the painting’s most captivating feature: flames of gold and silver leaf. These metallic elements are applied with a masterful touch, their shimmering surfaces catching the light and bringing the painting to life. The gold leaf, warm and vibrant, represents the fiery intensity and the fierce spirit of the tiger. In contrast, the silver leaf adds a touch of elegance and fluidity, reminiscent of the sleek and graceful movements of this majestic animal.

A striking feature of “Simmer Down” is the gold leaf that pushes through from the side. This element adds a sense of luxury and intensity, representing the mounting pressure or heat within the simmering concoction of colors. The gold leaf catches the light, drawing the eye and adding a dynamic quality to the artwork. The piece is further animated by bubbling white and contrasting black strokes. These strokes add movement and texture, enhancing the feeling of bubbling and simmering. The contrast between the white and black strokes creates a visual tension, mirroring the push and pull of internal emotions and thoughts as they rise to the surface.
