CHANEL #6 is a 36x48 abstract painting on canvas by Rick D’Alessandro feels like a sophisticated fusion of texture and elegance—almost like fabric translated into paint. Layers of beige, white, soft grays, and steel blues interweave with flashes of rust-orange and charcoal, giving it a distressed yet refined look. The palette and structure echo the way Coco Chanel might have designed a tweed jacket: timeless, chic, and subtly complex, where muted tones are punctuated by sharp accents.
The work’s surface is heavily built up with palette knife strokes and textured impasto, creating depth and movement. At a distance, the rhythm of rectangular blocks and layered tones resembles woven textiles or a refined patchwork of urban walls weathered by time. Up close, the scraped textures and layered paints invite you to explore every nuance of the surface.
It’s both modern and classic—abstract enough to hold mystery, yet composed with a balance and refinement that feels like high design.
