Wonderland #22 by Glenyse Thompson

Discovery

"Wonderland 22" is a vibrant explosion of color, a joyous celebration of pinks, oranges, magenta, and gold, further enhanced by iridescent hues painted on white handmade paper. The bright palette evokes a sense of playful fantasy and uninhibited joy, inviting the viewer to escape into a realm of pure imagination. The use of iridescent colors adds a shimmering, almost magical quality, suggesting the ephemeral nature of wonder and the transformative power of imagination. The white background provides a clean canvas for these vibrant colors to truly pop, creating a sense of lightness and airiness, as if floating in a dreamlike state.

The title, "Wonderland 22," suggests a continuation or re-imagining of a fantastical world, building upon previous explorations of this theme. The combination of warm, vibrant colors and the unique texture of handmade paper creates a sense of intimacy and connection, drawing the viewer into this whimsical landscape. "Wonderland 22" becomes more than just a visual representation of a fantastical place; it's an invitation to embrace the childlike wonder within ourselves, to explore the boundless realms of creativity, and to revel in the pure joy of color and imagination.
