Art Historian's Take
Shirley Novak — "Its Raining Birds Hallelujah" is a compelling example of contemporary surrealist expression, where the artist masterfully blends figurative representation with abstract painterly techniques to create a work that is both visually arresting and conceptually rich. The composition, with its dynamic arrangement of birds cascading from a luminous, multi-hued sky, evokes the influence of mid-20th-century abstract expressionism, particularly in its emphasis on gesture and spontaneity. Novak’s use of a vibrant, high-contrast palette—dominated by electric blues and radiant yellows—creates a sense of energetic movement and joy, while the textured, impasto-like application of paint lends the piece a tactile quality that invites close inspection. The work’s central motif of birds in flight, rendered in a stylized, almost childlike manner, suggests a narrative of liberation and the celebration of nature’s beauty, a theme that resonates with the broader artistic currents of the late 20th and early 21st centuries that sought to reconnect with the natural world. The piece’s asymmetrical balance and use of negative space contribute to a sense of dynamism and visual rhythm, guiding the viewer’s eye across the canvas in a manner reminiscent of the lyrical abstraction practiced by artists such as Helen Frankenthaler and Joan Mitchell. Ultimately, "Its Raining Birds Hallelujah" stands as a testament to Novak’s ability to synthesize diverse artistic traditions into a unique and evocative visual language, one that speaks to the enduring power of the surreal to capture the imagination and inspire wonder.

Love the artwork

The colors are great for our room. We needed something with the dark teal color. Love the artwork. The artwork however was almost ruined. The delivery person put it out on front stoop in the pouring rain. I would suggest that Decorus put the tube into sealed plastic before inserting into the shipping box.
