Nocturne

About Nocturne

This contemporary abstract painting was inspired by music and a composition called Night.

The distinctive luminous visual poetry of Alice Teichert is inspired by a rich background in music, graphic art, and literature. This expressive abstract painting is a symphony of calligraphic markings in white, gold, and cerise in a cloud formation that floats on an indigo background. A border along the base of the painting in gold and hot pink anchors the work. Teichert uses layer upon layer of translucent acrylic pigment to achieve remarkable depth. The title, Nocturne (French for nocturnal or night) references a musical composition that is evocative of the night. The gilded cloud in this artwork appears to be holographic and glowing in the night sky.

“The beauty of the ‘wordless’…colour and form, it’s not decoration, it’s more powerful than that.” Alice Teichert
