Discover "Golden River 1", a captivating work by the artist Patrick Mallee . This hand-painted acrylic painting with gold paint in a pouring technique on canvas is the first work in the "Golden River" series - inspired by satellite images of rivers and a commentary on the economics of waterways.

The artwork:

"Golden River 1" is the first work in the "Golden River" series. Fascinated by satellite images of rivers, this work was created in reference to them. While the gold represents the river itself, it also alludes to the economic importance of waterways, which have often been straightened for their intended purpose. The blue symbolizes the water's potential to overflow its banks—a consequence of straightening and interventions in natural river systems. The work combines the beauty of rivers seen from a bird's-eye view with a critical reflection on human intervention in nature. The pouring technique using gold lacquer creates organic, flowing structures reminiscent of rivers, while the blue symbolizes the dynamism and unpredictability of water. The work is hand-signed by the artist.

The meaning: Golden River

"Golden River 1" combines aesthetics with socio-critical reflection. From a bird's-eye view—as seen in satellite images—rivers are fascinating, organic structures that meander through the landscape. But the artist reminds us that many rivers have been straightened to make them economically viable—for shipping, agriculture, and industry. The gold symbolizes this economic viability, but also the value of the rivers themselves. The blue represents the water overflowing its banks—a consequence of the straightening that has destroyed natural floodplains. "Golden River 1" invites us to reflect on our relationship with rivers—on their beauty, their value, and the consequences of our interventions.
