BUTTERFLY NOUVEAU “Butterfly Nouveau” (2025), a captivating 36” x 36” vector graphic printed on 18mm silk twill with a duplex color shift. Against a gradient teal backdrop, the piece unfurls a sym - phony of iridescent butterflies and delicate pink blossoms, framed by ornate, gold-toned filigree reminiscent of Art Nouveau’s flowing elegance. Shoosty’s Chromatic Fusionism weaves a tapestry of Victorian flourish and modern design, with the silk’s insect-derived or - igin echoing the butterflies’ presence in a clever nod to nature’s artistry. The reverse color shift adds an interactive layer, transforming the work into a living canvas. This piece evokes the decorative mastery of Alphonse Mucha, whose sinuous lines and floral motifs find a vibrant counterpart in Shoosty’s creation. Yet, where Mucha leaned to - ward static beauty, Shoosty infuses a dynamic, almost kinetic energy with his multicolored wings. Mucha once mused, “The purpose of art is to raise people above themselves,” a sentiment that resonates in “Butterfly Nouveau’s” uplifting blend of tradition and innovation.
