Measuring 100 cm (Height) x 70 cm (Width), this large and vertically commanding oil on canvas transforms the familiar garden Canna lily into an expressive exploration of form and complementary colour. Hopkinson steps away from traditional green garden tones, opting instead for an electrified combination of rich crimson reds and deep, midnight blues to create an intensely moody yet vibrant atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eThe lower third of the composition is anchored by a dense mass of broad, layered foliage, rendered in deep indigo, teal, and navy blues. Strutting vertically out from this cool leafy base are several prominent, slender stalks that shoot upward toward the top of the frame. Crowning these stalks are clusters of brilliant, fiery red Canna blossoms, painted with thick, textured impasto brushwork that gives the delicate petals a tactile, velvety appearance. The rich warmth of the red blooms stands out sharply against the cool blue stems and the pale, atmospheric ice-blue background, which provides a clean, luminous backdrop that makes the entire floral arrangement pop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eHopkinson’s confident handling of oil paint is evident in the visible, rhythmic line work that traces the veins of the large leaves and details the intricate layers of the blossoms. By isolating the flowers against a minimalist background, she emphasizes their elegant, vertical architecture and organic rhythm. This captivating piece is a fantastic example of contemporary South African botanical expressionism, making it a sophisticated choice for fine art collectors looking to bring a powerful statement of color and natural beauty into a modern space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInternational Shipping available at Checkout - all works are shipped in a secure wooden crate.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Partners Online Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53201461936444,"sku":"ART301","price":13000.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0947\/5057\/2860\/files\/Red_Cannas.png?v=1783686216","url":"https:\/\/partnersonlinegallery.com\/products\/cannas-in-blue-and-red-karin-hopkinson","provider":"Partners Online Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
