Strawberry Butterfly presents Summer Wheat's signature interplay of painterly abundance and structural transparency, rendered in acrylic paint and gouache on aluminum mesh. Completed in 2025, the work belongs to Wheat's celebrated practice of applying dense, layered paint to open metal supports, a technique that allows light to pass through the surface and activate the composition from multiple vantage points. The result is simultaneously opulent and permeable, the pigment coalescing into lush organic forms that seem to float between foreground and void. At 86.4 by 119.4 centimeters, the painting commands presence without overwhelming, inviting close inspection of the textural buildup alongside a more distanced reading of its overall rhythm. Wheat's titles often suggest a productive tension between the domestic and the wild, the cultivated and the instinctual, and Strawberry Butterfly is no exception. The pairing evokes sweetness alongside flight, the grounded alongside the ephemeral, drawing the viewer into a symbolic register that feels both immediate and quietly layered. Her handling of gouache alongside acrylic introduces subtle shifts in opacity across the mesh ground, so that certain passages recede while others press forward with an almost sculptural weight. This attentiveness to material behavior reflects Wheat's broader interest in the physicality of paint as subject matter in its own right. Available through Zidoun-Bossuyt, Strawberry Butterfly arrives at a moment of significant institutional recognition for the artist, whose work has entered prominent collections and featured in major survey exhibitions in recent years. The unframed presentation underscores the work's self-sufficiency, foregrounding the mesh support as both structural armature and aesthetic element. Collectors drawn to painting that rewards sustained looking, and that carries genuine formal invention rather than surface novelty, will find this an exceptionally resolved example of Wheat's current practice.
