Ironton Gallery Presents "Alchemy" A solo exhibition by internationally collected abstract artist Shaylen Amanda Broughton.

"This series celebrates the transformative essence of the natural world, where earth, air, water, and light harmonize.

Harnessing the radiant allure of gold and utilizing my process of controlled chaos I create organic cell patterns, and fluid compositions that ebb and flow, capturing the magnificence of nature – from a gentle sunrise glow to rustling leaves and serene water ripples. Each artwork in this collection embodies the alchemical journey, where the line between the physical and metaphysical worlds blur and ordinary elements transcend to reveal the extraordinary.

In 'Alchemy,' gold acts as a catalyst for metamorphosis as I aim to encapsulate the ephemeral, transient, and fleeting aspects of nature. Beyond its rarity, the metal's worth lies in its ability to mirror the beauty of our environment, illuminating hidden patterns and sacred geometries that underpin existence."
