Teal Drip on Rusted Urban Wall

Teal Drip on Rusted Urban Wall is a meeting of color and decay. A curtain of teal and turquoise paint flows down across a wall of rust, copper and faded brown, with drips and streaks that soften the surface, and a small, worn painted shape hidden in the center. In his Surfer Art series, Tim Burns photographs the weathered walls and painted surfaces of coastal and urban life. He finds what time and weather have created and frames it so it reads as an abstract composition. The vertical drips give the image a sense of movement, almost like water, a fitting echo of the ocean that runs through his work. The contrast of cool teal and warm rust is rich and sophisticated, a palette interior designers love. Behind acrylic glass the colors deepen and the textures come alive. It is a great piece for a modern living room, a loft, an office or a restaurant, bringing color and texture with a touch of urban grit.
