A vibrant magenta artichoke stands against an emerald green field, juxtaposed with a luminous white specimen set against deep indigo. The rich, textured brushwork and sophisticated palette transform a simple organic subject into a mesmerizing sculptural focus, making it a perfect statement piece for a modern kitchen, sophisticated dining room, or a curated coastal interior.


Measuring 44 inches wide, 1.25 inches deep, and 31 inches tall, this substantial work is housed in its original minimalist silver-toned metal frame. It is hand-signed by the artist, P. Read, in the lower right corner. The painting is in great vintage condition, showing minor scuffs and a gentle patina on the frame consistent with its age and history. These subtle signs of wear only enhance the authentic character of this unique late 20th-century find. We invite you to bring this striking and whimsical botanical original into your home collection today. See less
