Strawberry Sun presents a luminous field of red and yellow forms pressed through aluminum mesh in Wheat's signature process, in which acrylic paint is pushed from behind the support so that it emerges on the surface as dense, tactile extrusions. The result is a work that hovers between painting and relief sculpture, its grid of perforations giving structure to what reads simultaneously as an abundant harvest and an abstracted solar field. Measuring nearly two by four meters, the piece commands a wall with both physical presence and chromatic warmth, the resin layers lending a jeweled depth that shifts under changing light. Completed in 2015, Strawberry Sun belongs to a formative period in Wheat's practice when she was refining the mesh-based technique that would come to define her critical reputation. The work draws on art historical references ranging from Byzantine mosaic to craft traditions associated with domestic labor, recasting those influences through a distinctly contemporary lens. Color here is not merely decorative but structural, with the saturated reds and golds organized into a rhythm that rewards sustained viewing across the full expanse of the canvas. This signed work is currently held at the Henry Art Gallery and represents a strong acquisition opportunity for collectors seeking a physically inventive, conceptually grounded piece from a pivotal moment in Wheat's career. The aluminum mesh support distinguishes the work from conventional painting in a way that photographs only partially convey, making direct encounter essential for appreciating its full textural and optical impact.
