Caelthorne's international debut painting "Grief in Bloom" receives widespread feedback - and criticism. 

See artwork and product info here

Even though he is clear in terms of his artwork statement about the painting, and the hidden message(s) - he's one mission remains: "chromatic symbolism, to touch the viewers soul. If you leave with more questions than answers after engaging with "Grief in Bloom" - then the artwork has chosen you, as its collector" adds Caelthorne. 

He is chasing the elusive balance between realism and abstraction, a space where the mind and eye both wander and the chaos of emotional turmoil, by "feeling nothing and everything, all at the same time (sic)" 

Caelthorne has indeed made an impression with "Grief in Bloom" with feedback positive and great acclaim: "WOW! Every stroke of your genius radiates magic, and I'm utterly spellbound by the depth, beauty and silent poetry of your work" adds one collector. Another mentioned: “This painting holds an elusive quality I find rare in contemporary work — it both confronts and conceals, offering moments of clarity that dissolve into mystery. It’s a piece that refuses to give itself away all at once.” 

Some feedback are not so much "all praise and glory" with a juried curator's response said: “I’ve noticed that in some areas where the frame meets the face and the flower, the depth effect could be stronger with more deliberate use of shadows and highlights. Adding a few more pronounced tonal contrasts might really elevate the three-dimensional presence of the piece.” This however is more pointed to the objects/technique rather than the conceptual/symbolism of the artwork.

Caelthorne has not responded individually to all the feedback, however have said "I appreciate every word from those who took the time to view, look at and respond to "Grief in Bloom". As it's a deeply personal piece, I don't want to influence the viewer/collectors interpretations in any way and I was initially hesitant about the description and symbolism/metaphors I made use of, to not give away too much... pleasantly surprised at the feedback, it means I've accomplished the conceptualism... my heart is full (sic)" 

Artwork Statement: "Grief in Bloom" 

You’re surrounded by everyone, yet have no-one. Your lifeline is cut. Your dreams… just that. The body breathes but you still suffocate. You still see, but silently blinded. Unknowingly. You see everything, but nothing. 

You see colors, levels, dimensions, tears, hope, longing, dread, sorrow, despair, hate, nothing… and everything. 'Grief in Bloom' is my heart in my hand… my soul on my sleeve. My admission. My submission. In the end is our beginning. Grieve with color. Grieve with passion. Grieve with pride, and grieve in solitude if you have to. 

But allow yourself to grieve, so you can bloom again. 

If you are ‘dead’… I truly hope that this piece will touch your soul on a frequency and level, only you will understand, and hopefully find comfort in. May it make you feel everything and nothing... all at the same time. If this piece asks you more questions than answers... then it chose you, as collector."
