About the Artwork
Girl is a 16" x 16" oil and copper leaf on canvas by Dana Irving created on canvas. A turquoise ribbon-like form twists upward at the centre, set against a richly patterned copper background of swirling floral motifs. Irving balances fluid abstraction with decorative detail, creating a work that feels both contemporary and ornamental.
The luminous blue figure suggests nature, movement, and feminine presence, while the copper leaf ground shimmers with floral patterns and curving scrolls. Smooth, flowing contours contrast with intricate etched textures, offering viewers multiple layers of interpretation. The result is a jewel-like composition that feels intimate yet powerful.

Accessibility Description
This square-format painting measures 16 by 16 inches and is presented on canvas. The entire background is covered in copper leaf, which glows with a metallic sheen. Over this surface, intricate floral and ornamental scrollwork has been applied in warm browns, ranging from light amber to deep umber. The decorative patterns fill the background from edge to edge, with stylized blossoms, curling vines, and looping arabesques repeating across the copper surface. The texture of the leaf catches the light, giving the ground a luminous quality.
At the base of the canvas, a band of turquoise blue curves from the left edge to the right, forming a foundation that anchors the composition. From the centre of this band rises a large turquoise form, twisting upward in fluid, ribbon-like shapes. The central figure consists of multiple curving strands that separate and rejoin, resembling both fabric folds and natural growth. The paint surface is smooth and opaque, with variations in tone from lighter aqua to deeper teal, creating gentle shading within the curves.
The upward movement of the turquoise form occupies the centre of the composition, leaving the copper floral background visible around it. The contrast between the intricate, reflective background and the bold, simplified form in the foreground establishes a sense of depth. No additional objects or figures are present, focusing attention on the interplay between the ornamental ground and the single, stylized blue shape rising at the centre.
