About Interview

This contemporary abstract painting has a golden color palette.

Layers of reflective gold, burnished brown and black descend like a curtain over a pool of lilac in this rich painting. Two horizontal brush strokes in sea blue mark a horizon like a word of calm. A strip of light green defines the foot of the work, thus completing the poetic narrative. This work is created using many thin layers of acrylic gel and interference paint. The colors shift as the viewer moves around the painting. The gel medium creates a lively surface. The delightful result is a painting that shimmers and shines, with rich hues of copper, deep indigo, pale green and blue. Alice Teichert is known for bold colors and layered transparencies interspersed with script-like line drawings.

“My work has a lot of energy. Colour is a form of frequency to me. Colour is a form of music.” Alice Teichert
