About
Meredith Walker’s "Sunshine II" radiates with whimsical charm and playful surrealism and is a luminous example of contemporary folk art with a dreamlike, childlike quality that evokes warmth and wonder. At the center of the composition is a radiant, anthropomorphic sun, its golden rays rendered as soft, gestural extensions of a stylized face. The artist has imbued this celestial figure with tender personality—its wide, pale blue eyes are alert and curious, while a gentle smile of peach and crimson hues adds a sense of innocence and intimacy. Ideal for collectors drawn to emotionally resonant contemporary art, this piece seamlessly blends the spiritual lightness of visionary illustration with the raw texture of handmade folk tradition, offering a touch of magic and optimism to any space.
This 20-inch square original acrylic and gouache artwork is meticulously crafted on raw canvas, with painted edges that create a seamless, finished look. It is wired, ready to hang, and requires no additional framing. It is signed by the artist on the back, and it comes with a certificate of authenticity issued by the gallery. Convenient delivery is available in the Los Angeles area, and affordable shipping options are offered throughout the Continental U.S. and internationally.
