Cham Hendon 1977 Artwork Acrylic & Rhoplex Houses Painting

Cham Hendon’s piece from 1977, showcased at the esteemed Phyllis Kind Gallery, is a visual marvel rendered in acrylic and rhoplex on canvas. The mediums converge seamlessly, resulting in a vivid panorama of colors and emotions that immediately draw the viewer in. Hendon’s palette is expansive and bold. The artwork bursts with both saturated neons and muted pastels, presenting a tableau that is as visually stimulating as it is thought-provoking. The interplay of these hues underlines the artist’s keen sense of balance and aesthetic intuition.
