Dreamy Ethereal Paintings Come to Life With Reflective Gold Leaf

There are few things that feel as decadent or as luminous as gold. In art, gold leaf and paint can elevate a canvas beyond static two-dimensionality, creating a rich, reflective surface that rarely ceases to amaze. It’s precisely that radiance that Brad Kunkle seeks out within his own practice, which is dominated by a range of gilded details. For nearly two decades, the New York-based artist has painted scenes of women surrounded by dramatic landscapes, each doused in earthy tones that beautifully enhance the gold leaf found throughout.
