Enamel Gold and Acrylic on wood panel.
A mesmerizing interplay of movement and mysticism, Knock, Knock, Knocking Wood Panel #5 pulses with an ethereal presence, drawing the viewer into its layered depths. Created with acrylic and enamel on wood, this piece exudes an almost alchemical energy, where organic forms and celestial symbols seem to converge in a dance of transformation.
The dominant palette of luminous yellow-greens and deep purples creates a striking contrast, reinforcing the duality of light and shadow, intuition and structure. The textured surface, marked by gestural strokes and intricate dot patterns, evokes a sense of rhythm—like coded messages or vibrations emanating from an unseen force. The vertical central figure, abstract yet suggestive of a being in motion, is adorned with circular symbols, resembling a cosmic spine or an ancient language etched into time.
The composition feels both grounded and otherworldly, framed by a border that appears weathered and timeworn, as if this piece has traveled through different realms before arriving in its current state. The layering of paint reveals subtle interactions of form, suggesting an evolving narrative—one that speaks of energy, ascension, and the unseen currents that shape existence.
As with the rest of 10-panel collection “Knock, Knock, Knocking on Wood” collection, this panel resonates with the act of knocking—an invocation of luck, a connection to the unknown, a moment of passage. It is an artifact of both intention and intuition, inviting the viewer to step closer, to decode its markings, and to feel the quiet hum of something beyond the surface.
