Electric pink cuts through molten gold, orange and softer passages of pigment, creating an image that feels alive with pleasure and possibility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is an infectious freedom to the composition. The portrait seems almost to escape its own boundaries, with cascading hair, gestural floral outlines and spontaneous marks moving across the aluminium surface. \u003cstrong\u003eIt is bold without becoming heavy, glamorous without becoming polished, a celebration of femininity expressed with wit, confidence and unmistakable Louise Dear attitude.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe apparent spontaneity is deliberate. Having refined her distinctive mixed-media practice over many years, Dear created the Compact Classics as an exploration of what happens when some of her best-known imagery is reduced to its essential marks. Familiar forms are reconsidered through line and surface, allowing the strength of the original drawing to become part of the artwork's decorative language.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated on aluminium using mixed media including \u003cstrong\u003egloss paint, gold leaf, diamond dust and glitter\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003e'YumYum My Dreams'\u003c\/em\u003e plays constantly with its surroundings. Reflective gold catches and releases the light, while saturated pigment, sparkling detail and the exposed metallic surface create shifts in texture that are difficult to fully appreciate on screen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt 70 × 50cm, \u003cem\u003e'YumYum My Dreams'\u003c\/em\u003e offers a particularly compelling opportunity to acquire an original Louise Dear.\u003c\/strong\u003e Conceived to open original ownership to a wider circle of collectors, the Compact Classics present some of Dear's most recognisable imagery as a focused series of one-off works at an exceptional entry point within her original portfolio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a first Louise Dear acquisition, it is a dazzling introduction to the colour, femininity and expressive energy that define her practice. \u003cstrong\u003eFor an established collector, \u003cem\u003e'YumYum My Dreams'\u003c\/em\u003e offers something different: a celebrated Dear image liberated from excess and allowed to exist in a wonderfully immediate form.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch6\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h6\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedium: Original work on aluminium: \u003cspan\u003emixed media including gloss paint, gold leaf, diamond dust and glitter.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImage Size:\u003cspan\u003e 70 x 50 cm \/ 27.55\" x 19.68\" \u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame Size: 75 x 55 cm \/ 29.52\" x 21.65\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrame: Slim White Matte Tray Frame.\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigned to be enjoyed unframed\u003c\/strong\u003e, the artwork is supplied ready to hang with fixings that leave its beautifully finished aluminium edges exposed for a clean, contemporary presentation.
