– FEATURED COLLECTION –Dripping Gold– by Sabina Tupan –
The 2019 Dripping gold series is a melting body of work, a stilled liquid performance, if you may, formed of three paintings that informed a later work titled Womb Coronation.
The series celebrates the body and its contents as the chosen color scheme appoints an almost regal status to the entire display of limbs and liquids; the play between the fiery scarlet red, the sober ultramarine blue, and oh so precious golden tones reveal an introspective narrative awaiting glorification.
The Collection
“Elegy to a plumber” – Sabina Tupan
- Medium: acrylic and ink on paper
- Dimensions: 25 cm x 35 cm
- Year: 2019

“Elegy to a plumber” is the first piece composing the triptych. It is a quite lighthearted title for an image depicting spilling blood vessels; contrasts have been very much part of my practice for years and so I use titles as vessels for delivering humor alongside more personal, heavy content.
This piece is an invitation, an ode to those who can “fix” the internal spillage of the self.

“What’s underneath the staircase” depicts a classic childhood fear of the unknown- the “boogie man” of adulthood as seen through a liquified filter, where emotions melt, drip down the staircase, and blend into a whole.
