“Gold Series 4” is the fourth installment in Asheville artist Carol Fetty’s narrative “Gold Series,” a collection of work celebrating women. This piece features a fragmented portrait of a woman interwoven with abstract elements and gold accents. It captures the dynamic fusion of traditional portraiture and modern artistry, embodying the eclectic and progressive spirit of Asheville’s art community.
The textured layers and collage techniques invite an exploration of identity and perception, the metallic gold pieces provide a touch of luxury and complexity. It celebrates the interplay of diverse materials and the beauty of juxtaposition. The contrast between the muted face and busy collage serve as a reminder that our outsides are not a true reflection of what lies beneath the surface.
Designed for the modern art lover, “Gold Series 4” is a conversation starter perfectly suited for contemporary spaces. It stands as a reflection of the vibrant creativity and boldness that Asheville’s art scene is known for.
