Painted in 2019 from a photograph of Native American corn, the work focuses on the remarkable variations of colour and form contained within a single ear, elevating an agricultural plant into a commanding visual presence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial Nova',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #c00000;\"\u003eThe extraordinary colours represented in the painting are drawn from real Native American corn and are not an abstract invention. Brilliant yellows, greens, oranges, reds, blues, and violets reflect the remarkable natural diversity found among Indigenous corn varieties. Cultivated in the Americas for thousands of years, corn has been preserved across generations by Indigenous peoples and is deeply connected to sustenance, community, tradition, and cultural continuity. The painting therefore presents not simply a botanical specimen, but a living form carrying an ancient and enduring heritage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial Nova',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #c00000;\"\u003eThe tightly framed composition brings the viewer directly into the surface of the corn. Individual kernels become almost jewel-like forms, densely arranged yet each retaining its own character. Carefully placed highlights create a rhythmic progression across the canvas, while the surrounding husks and delicate strands of corn silk provide an organic counterpoint to the rounded geometry of the kernels.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial Nova',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #c00000;\"\u003eCentral to the painting is JChadima’s use of an Old Masters glazing technique. More than twenty layers of differently coloured transparent varnishes were applied to build depth, luminosity, and chromatic complexity. The successive glazes allow light to appear to penetrate the painted layers, giving the kernels their distinctive richness and almost translucent, polished appearance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial Nova',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #c00000;\"\u003eThe technique creates a compelling dialogue between historical European painting practices and a Native American subject with roots extending back thousands of years. By bringing these traditions together, JChadima connects European craftsmanship with the enduring Indigenous heritage of the Americas, while preserving the immediate beauty and vitality of the corn itself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial Nova',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #c00000;\"\u003eRepetition becomes a source of movement rather than uniformity.

Its expansive leaves begin their transformation early in the season, shifting through multiple hues and bringing unexpected bursts of colour to the Parisian landscape. This seasonal metamorphosis provides the formal vocabulary for a composition concerned less with description than with rhythm, structure, and transformation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial Nova',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #c00000;\"\u003eThrough radical cropping and enlargement, JChadima removes the leaves from their conventional spatial context. Their veins, folds, and overlapping surfaces are translated into elongated bands and undulating planes that move diagonally across the canvas. The resulting image retains its botanical origins while approaching abstraction, creating a tension between recognition and pure form.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial Nova',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #c00000;\"\u003eColour assumes a structural role. Saturated magentas and deep burgundies are set against ochres, creams, earthen browns, and incisive passages of yellow green. Rather than adhering to naturalistic colour, JChadima heightens and reorganizes the palette, using chromatic contrast to articulate depth and direct the movement of the eye. The composition consequently oscillates between surface and illusionistic space: forms appear alternately to fold inward, project outward, and dissolve into adjacent passages of colour.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial Nova',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #c00000;\"\u003eThe Parisian marronnier serves not simply as subject but as a point of departure. By isolating a transient element of the urban landscape and enlarging it beyond ordinary perception, JChadima shifts attention from the identity of the leaf to its underlying architecture.

Drawing from observations of flowers, plants, and the organic forms that surround the artist, JChadima moves away from literal botanical representation toward a more muted and fluid interpretation. Familiar structures are softened, fragmented, and reconfigured, allowing the natural subject to become an abstract field of colour, shape, rhythm, and movement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial Nova',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003eThe composition is defined by restrained colour relationships and simplified organic forms. Rather than relying on strong contrasts or clearly articulated botanical details, the work allows colours and shapes to flow gradually into one another.

The natural world provides the underlying structure, but the artist allows that structure to evolve through abstraction.

Rather than presenting the flower primarily as a delicate botanical image, JChadima brings the viewer extraordinarily close, transforming petals and leaves into broad planes, sweeping arcs, and tightly folded forms.

From a distance, the composition can be experienced as an arrangement of shapes, tonal transitions, and intersecting curves. With closer attention, the botanical origins become increasingly apparent.

The overlapping petals suggest softness and movement, while their enlarged scale gives them an unexpected physical presence.

These photographs were not simply preparatory references; they became an essential part of the creative process. By repeatedly examining the structure, its windows, architectural details, surrounding buildings, and changing reflections, the artist assembled a visual archive from which the final composition could evolve.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial Nova',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #ee0000;\"\u003eThe painting’s perspective was equally deliberate. JChadima selected and developed a viewpoint that emphasizes the monumentality and importance of the Samaritaine within the surrounding Parisian cityscape. The upward progression of the façade accentuates its scale, while the repeated geometry of the windows creates an architectural rhythm that carries the eye across and through the composition.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial Nova',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #ee0000;\"\u003eWithin this structure, however, stability gives way to continual change. Each mirrored pane contains a different fragment—architecture, sky, light, shadow, and surrounding Parisian space. The façade consequently becomes a mosaic of individual observations, in which no single reflection defines the building. The Samaritaine is simultaneously subject, surface, and witness to the city around it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial Nova',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #ee0000;\"\u003eOf particular significance is the reflected presence of Église Saint-Germain-l'Auxerrois. Its appearance within the glass brings separate periods of Parisian architectural history into direct visual dialogue.

At close range, windows become individual fields of colour and reflection; from farther away, they reassemble into the larger architectural whole.

The richly patterned textile provides both contrast and visual depth, intensifying the painting’s saturated palette: the warm reds and yellows of the apples, the earthy oranges of the carrots, the pale tonalities of the potatoes, and the striking violets and purples of the turnips. The pink accents woven through the torchon establish subtle chromatic connections across the composition, unifying the individual elements.

The irregular contours of the carrots, variations in the skins of the apples, and earthy, imperfect forms of the vegetables remain visible and essential.

The closely compressed composition, assertive colour, and dramatic contrast give the work a contemporary visual intensity while preserving the intimacy historically associated with still-life painting. Multiple layers of glazing build depth and luminosity throughout the painting. Successive translucent layers enrich the colours and create subtle transitions of light and tone, giving the subjects greater volume, vibrancy, and visual presence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial Nova',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;\"\u003eThere is also an important sense of place embedded within the work. The ingredients originate from Rue Mouffetard, one of Paris’s historic market streets, connecting the painter’s experiences of choosing, gathering, and observing with the composition itself.

Pearlescent whites, silvery greys, celadon and subdued greens move almost imperceptibly into one another, punctuated by luminous passages of yellow and chartreuse. Through meticulous blending, JChadima allows these tonalities to dissolve gradually across the surface. Rather than relying upon pronounced outlines, the artist uses shifts in value and temperature to establish boundaries, depth, and volume. At moments, one form appears to emerge from another; elsewhere, edges seem to disappear entirely into the surrounding atmosphere.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial Nova',sans-serif;\"\u003eThis subtle modulation of pigment gives the work an unusual luminosity. Whites are rarely absolute, carrying undertones of green, grey, or yellow that change according to the forms surrounding them. Darker grey passages provide moments of compression and depth, while concentrated yellow-green accents appear almost illuminated from within. The eye is consequently drawn through the composition by transitions rather than fixed contours, producing a slow, continuous visual movement.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial Nova',sans-serif;\"\u003eThe radical cropping of the flower further destabilizes conventional representation. Petals enter and leave the boundaries of the canvas, while the central forms twist inward through a succession of folds and openings.

Bands of violet, yellow, orange, red, green, blue, grey, and white expand and contract as they move through the pictorial space, suggesting the vibration of sound waves or musical phrases unfolding over time. Some forms appear broad and sustained, while others become narrow, concentrated, and rapid, establishing a visual equivalent to variations in tempo, pitch, volume, and intensity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial Nova',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #c00000;\"\u003eColour functions much like musical tone. Brilliant yellows and greens introduce moments of heightened energy; reds and oranges provide warmth and intensity; deep violets and darker passages establish resonance and depth.

The forms do not remain static within clearly defined boundaries but appear to bend, vibrate, converge, and separate. Their repeated contours create visual pulses that carry the eye through the composition in much the same way that rhythm carries the listener through music. The narrow, wavering forms near the center intensify this sensation, appearing almost like visible frequencies vibrating between larger fields of colour.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial Nova',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #c00000;\"\u003eAt its core, Abstract Rhythm is also a paradigm of all that is free and spontaneous. Liberated from the requirements of literal representation, the painting allows colour, line, and movement to respond intuitively to one another. This sense of freedom parallels the improvisational qualities of music, where structure and spontaneity can coexist and an unexpected shift in rhythm or tone can redirect the entire experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Arial Nova',sans-serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; color: #c00000;\"\u003eThe work establishes a compelling relationship between harmony and dissonance. Softly modelled curves coexist with sharp transitions; saturated colours encounter quieter neutrals; broad passages are interrupted by compressed bands of intense chromatic activity.
