Unique and thought-provoking abstracted composition with cosmos and oak tree by California artist Charles "Dave" Francis (American, 1951-2018). Blended fluorescent colors in a tilted pane evoke the vividness of James Webb Telescope images of the galaxy. The bleeding out of the colors around the pane add movement creating the feeling that the cosmos is balancing en pointe. Counterbalanced by a stenciled large oak tree symbolizing the microcosmic life on earth, this painting invites the viewer to ponder and think about what they see.

Unsigned, but was acquired with a collection of the artist's work.

Charles David "Dave" Francis (American, 1951-2018) was an artist from Santa Cruz, California. He worked in acrylic and stained glass, specifically because the two methods are so dissimilar: "My paintings are very loose and expressive while my stained glass is structured and very much "within the lines". Painting is an exploration and discovery process. I put paint down in many layers until I produce an image I find exciting. In contrast, my stained glass requires a lot of planning and very exacting execution." See less
