Coral Reef by David Drum is a 22 x 28 inch mixed media on reverse glass panel. It was produced in 2019 and is signed on the reverse to enable the piece to be hung in any direction. It has David Drum Inventory #4973a on the back of the painting. It was made in collaboration with Drum’s wife, Barbara Vance, using a combination of materials, from gold leaf to automotive paint and glitter. This technique brings the piece to life, adding texture and luminescence that is not seen on canvas. The duo uses a blend of soft pastels paired with saturated jewel tones to create vibrant and lively abstract pieces. Loose and broad paint strokes weave and intertwine to give this piece incredible movement. Coral Reef is one of a two part series. It comes to Rookleys directly from David Drum’s studio in Crystal Beach.
