Sunflower by Gary Head

"Sunflower" by Gary Head, is an example of expressionist and figurative art. The artist uses a broad, gestural brushwork and a bold, high-key color palette to create a dynamic and energetic composition. The single sunflower is the central focus, rendered with thick impasto that gives the work a sense of tactile texture. The contrasting colors—a brilliant ultramarine blue background against the warm yellows and oranges of the petals—create a powerful visual impact. The overall style is a blend of abstraction and representational art, focusing on the emotive quality of the subject rather than a photorealistic depiction.
