Shari Pedowitz's Desire is a decadent feast for the senses, a visual immersion into the intoxicating realm of longing. Throbbing reds evoke the flush of skin, the heat of a caress, the vibrant pulse of a heart consumed by passion. Lush blacks embrace the mystery of unbridled ecstasy, while cool glints of silver flash like bursts of pure, unadulterated pleasure. Her canvas burns with a carnal energy, a palpable sense of delectable abandon in Shari’s expressive brushstrokes. She surrenders to the overwhelming power of desire, each stroke a testament to its intoxicating grip.
 
Her texture is rich and sumptuous, inviting touch and hinting at the luxurious feel of velvet or the silken slide of skin. Reds melt into blacks, creating a sense of depth and complexity, while silver streaks ignite your senses like errant sparks. Shari’s abstract expressionist painting revels in the physical, the sensual, the purely hedonistic aspects of yearning. Desire is an embrace of the fire, the all-consuming hunger for something more. It's a tactile experience where you feel the urgency of Shari's hand as she gave form to these powerful emotions.
 
Her signature stakes a claim on this territory of intense feeling. The word "Desire" itself, scrawled across the canvas, is less a label and more a declaration, a proud acknowledgment of the driving force behind her art. This is a bold proclamation of the senses, a journey into the heart of yearning where passion and mystery intertwine. Desire entices you to confront your own desires, to explore the shadowy corners of your own heart, and to revel in the intoxicating dance between longing and fulfillment.
