"Flight of the Eastern Flame" – 16x20 Butterfly Burst on Canvas by Chris Lee

Encased in a sleek acrylic frame, this striking 16x20 canvas captures the ethereal beauty of nature in motion. At the center of the piece, a stunning upward burst of Asiatic butterflies takes flight, their wings frozen in delicate ascent. Set against a pure, white backdrop, the vibrant orange hues of the butterflies stand out with breathtaking clarity, creating a vivid contrast that draws the eye.

The butterflies, each species chosen for its intricate design and vibrant color, seem to lift into the air in an elegant, fluid motion. Their wings, painted in rich tones of amber, tangerine, and burnt orange, catch the light and seem to glow against the simplicity of the white canvas. This upward burst symbolizes a dynamic, almost spiritual movement—an escape into the freedom of flight, where each butterfly is a celebration of grace, fragility, and strength.

The clean, white background serves as the perfect canvas for this burst of color, allowing the butterflies' intricate patterns and luminous tones to pop, bringing a sense of warmth and energy to the space. The piece evokes the golden hours of dusk, where the fading sunlight dances off the wings of butterflies as they rise toward the sky, free from the weight of the world below.

Encased in acrylic, this artwork has a vibrant depth, with the butterflies appearing to almost lift off the canvas, caught in mid-flight. The combination of motion, light, and color creates a mesmerizing visual journey, drawing the viewer in to witness the beauty of nature’s fleeting moments.

Through Chris Lee’s work, you are invited to experience the boundless spirit of these Asiatic butterflies—a symbol of hope, renewal, and the delicate grace of life in motion.
