Original Description
"Happy As A Big Sun Flower" by Matthew Hastings radiates an infectious joy through its bold, whimsical depiction of a sunflower dominating the canvas. Created during Hastings' mid-career exploration of botanical themes (circa 2010-2015), the acrylic painting showcases his distinctive neo-expressionist style with thick impasto strokes that give the petals tangible energy. Measuring 36×48 inches, this work represents Hastings' celebrated "Floral Euphoria" series that bridged post-pop art sensitivity with therapeutic art principles. Art historians note its significance in the contemporary decorative art movement for democratizing expressive brushwork traditionally associated with high art. The sunflower's anthropomorphic grin and spiraling center create a visual vortex that literally embodies happiness, making it a frequent loaner to positivity-themed exhibitions at institutions like the Chelsea Art Museum.
For interior applications, position this vibrant piece in spaces benefiting from psychological uplift - home offices facing north or hospital waiting areas. Its warm cadmium yellow palette naturally complements mid-century modern furniture with teak accents or industrial lofts with exposed brick. Consider flanking the artwork with spherical lighting fixtures to echo the floral center's circular motif. In commercial settings, the 3-foot width makes it ideal for anchoring reception area feature walls when paired with low-profile white sofas and live edge wooden tables. For residential spaces, hang it at eye level (57-60 inches from floor) in eat-in kitchens alongside copper cookware displays that pick up the painting's metallic undertones. The artwork's dimensional texture demands a 2-inch floated frame in matte black to maintain its contemporary edge while creating visual separation from surrounding surfaces.
