{"product_id":"a-crown-of-white-fire","title":"A Crown of White Fire","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe crest rises from silence, feather by feather, until it reaches the very edge of the frame. A white cockatoo turns in profile, calm and unhurried, its crown opening like something between a flame and a halo.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing here was added. The image is built from depth and absence, surfaces held back and surfaces let through, so that light does the work paint or print never could.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStand close and the bird dissolves into a field of fine structure, a quiet architecture of feather and shadow. Step back and it gathers itself into one still, monumental gesture, visible only when the light finds it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA crest fanned this wide is a language older than words, a signal of alertness, of display, of something fierce held in reserve. Here it reads instead as a kind of quiet defiance, a crown worn without weight, fire without heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe piece changes with the hour, with the angle of a lamp, with where you choose to stand. It asks to be lived with rather than looked at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis work continues the Art with Void series by Tijs Dragtsma, in which imagery is constructed through depth and absence rather than paint or print. A visual language where absence is not emptiness, but presence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A crown built from nothing but light, and the patience to let it appear.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore about the artist, process and materials can be found on the About page.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eQuestions about this work, availability or shipping can be sent through the contact page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TD Fine Art Studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":59580269920581,"sku":null,"price":3750.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0904\/0724\/0005\/files\/A_Crown_of_White_Fire_thumbnail.jpg?v=1791175403","url":"https:\/\/tdfineartstudio.com\/products\/a-crown-of-white-fire","provider":"TD Fine Art Studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
