This vibrant abstract oil painting by David Drum evokes the cascading movement and lush density of wisteria vines in full bloom. The composition flows vertically, with bold, gestural brushwork suggesting the drooping tendrils and blossoms descending through light and shadow. The artist employs a rhythmic layering of colours — deep cobalt blues and violets at the top give way to lighter greens, yellows, and creamy whites below — creating the illusion of sunlight filtering through a floral canopy.



Energetic red and green strokes weave through the work like twisting vines, while the textured impasto application enhances the sense of motion and organic vitality. The lower section, dominated by pale tones, offers a luminous contrast, suggesting petals catching the light or reflections on a garden wall.



Wisteria demonstrates Drum’s lyrical approach to abstraction, merging the structural patterns of nature with expressive, almost musical brushwork. The result is both dynamic and meditative — a celebration of natural form dissolved into pure colour and rhythm.
