In this joyful abstract painting, Fiona Ackerman is playing with expressive form and vivid colour. The Vancouver-based artist is highly regarded for her masterful sense of dynamic form and her inspired palette. This painting—its fluid markings and gestural brushstrokes -- is rendered in a punchy neon-bright palette of hot pink, orange, melon and yellow against a soft gray and white background. ‘Twist and shout!’“I named it 'Fluorescent Françoise after Françoise Hardy, the 1960s French pop star whose music inspires warmth, colour and playfulness.” Fiona Ackerman
