"You so Sweet" 2023 Large Black, MulticolorAbstract Painting by Lowell boyers

"You So Sweet" (2023) by Lowell Boyers is a luminous, high-energy composition-an explosion of color that feels both intimate and cosmic. Against an inky black ground, bursts of hot pink, flax, pale peach, burnt orange, and sky blue take on floral-like forms, radiating outward like celestial blooms. Golden and pale blue details punctuate the darkness suggesting constellations, stars, or even microscopic life caught in motion. Circles float throughout the canvas like echoes from an original pulse, evoking a sense of genesis-something akin to the visual poetry of the Big Bang.

Boyers, a New York-based artist who holds a B.A. from the Rhose Island School of Design and an M.F.A. from Yale brings philosophical depth to his abstract work. "I use raw canvas like the template of our mind," he writes, "which before perception is a futile but empty slate that we fill and dissipate all phenomena into and onto." Each brushstroke in "You So Sweet" conveys this immediacy-gestural, fresh, and unrepeatable-like a fleeting emotion made visible.

The painting is is finished with the canvas wrapped tightly around the stretcher and painted along the edges in the same black ground, creating a seamless effect. "You so Sweet" is not only a riot of color and energy but a meditation on the beginning of things-emotional, cosmic, and deeply human.
The painting's rich palette and dynamic composition transcend style, making it a stunning focal point in both contemporary and traditional interiors alike.
