Burchfield Garden View

2026

Burchfield Garden View presents a lush, animated landscape rendered in JJ Manford's signature combination of oil stick, oil pastel, and flashe on canvas. Completed in 2026, the work channels the visionary naturalism of Charles Burchfield while remaining unmistakably Manford's own, alive with layered mark-making that gives botanical forms a nervous, rhythmic energy. At nearly 150 centimeters tall, the vertical canvas allows foliage and growth to surge upward with a sense of abundance that feels both observed and conjured, grounded in careful looking yet tipped toward something more emotional and interior. Manford has developed a devoted following for paintings that occupy this productive tension between representation and expressive distortion, and Burchfield Garden View sits confidently among the strongest examples of that sensibility. The material combination is central to the work's appeal. Flashe, a vinyl-based matte paint, anchors the surface with flat, chalky passages, while oil stick and oil pastel introduce warmth, translucency, and gestural immediacy. The result is a surface that rewards close attention, shifting in character as the eye moves across it. Currently available through Harper's, this signed canvas arrives unframed, offering collectors the opportunity to consider presentation thoughtfully. Works of this scale and ambition from Manford are increasingly sought after as his profile continues to rise within contemporary painting, and a work that explicitly engages the Burchfield legacy adds an additional layer of art historical resonance to an already compelling acquisition.
