ABSCISSION 1 Dean Crozier’s ABSCISSION 1 blends metallic golds, bronze tones and striking verticals to evoke Sydney’s autumn trees. A vibrant abstract artwork perfect for adding warmth and elegance to any space.
ABSCISSION 1 reflects the quiet poetry of seasonal change, drawing on the moment when trees release their golden leaves and the landscape shifts toward the cooler months. Inspired by the inner‑city suburbs of Sydney, the work captures the fleeting beauty of autumn as bronze and gold gather in the canopy before drifting gently to the earth below.
Metallic brushstrokes are layered to evoke dense foliage, forming a luminous crown of colour that dominates the upper portion of the canvas. Beneath it, stark black trunks descend in loose vertical lines darkened by autumn rain. The contrast between the richly textured upper field and the sparse, pale expanse below creates a striking visual tension—suggesting both fullness and stillness, movement and calm.
This modern abstract landscape evokes the experience of sitting beneath a tree on a crisp autumn day, watching leaves fall through cool air and settle softly on the ground. It offers a moment of quiet reflection, inviting the viewer to pause, breathe, and reconnect with the gentle rhythms of the natural world.
