Wild Bloom captures a sense of movement and intensity through vivid colour, layered gesture and chance. A warm mustard-gold ground is animated by flashes of orange, pink, burgundy, black and white, creating a composition that feels energetic and constantly in motion.
Built through successive layers of poured and splashed acrylic, the work develops without a predetermined image. Fine lines move between larger bursts and pools of colour, while metallic details catch the light and shift subtly as the work is viewed from different angles. From a distance, the composition reads as a spontaneous field of colour; closer inspection reveals an intricate network of individual marks, textures and overlapping gestures.
The result is a vibrant work that balances spontaneity with depth. An exploration of colour, movement and the energy of the unexpected.
About the artist
LILAS is the artistic identity of Laurence van der Sande, artist and co-founder of VAN DER SANDE. The name brings together the initials of Lidewij and Laurence, reflecting the personal world from which the work originates.
Her abstract paintings explore colour, movement and chance through an intuitive process of pouring, splashing and layering paint directly onto the canvas. Rather than beginning with a fixed composition, each work evolves through the physical act of painting, allowing gesture, gravity and spontaneity to shape the final image.
