“Green Butterflies”
"Green Butterflies"
by Gregory J. Rose
2018, Mixed Media On Panel, 9“x11”, framed
A compact mixed media composition built from vertical bands of pale gray, teal, and deep blue, punctuated by scattered paint flecks and a darkened lower edge. Currently exhibited in Mending in Time at Mill City Clinic. Framed. Certificate of Authenticity included.
Collector Snapshot
Green Butterflies reflects Gregory J. Rose’s ability to distill his broader visual language into an intimate scale, maintaining surface complexity and chromatic tension within a tightly framed composition. The work sits within a period where layered color fields, abrasion, and gestural interruption were being refined into concise, collectible formats while still engaging institutional exhibition contexts.
-
Moderate Growth Potential
The artwork’s current institutional exhibition, combined with its 2018 creation date within a consistently collected mixed-media period, positions it for steady appreciation. While modest in scale, the framed presentation and documented exhibition context strengthen its long-term relevance relative to similarly sized works without public placement.
