Hand-applied metal leaf gives the butterfly wings a luminosity that changes with the angle of viewing, the gold surface catching light with a quality that no other material can achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe formation concept connects directly to Maxim's understanding of the butterfly as an underdog that achieves power through collective action — the murmuration effect, the way that individually fragile things become formidable in combination. The gold metal leaf amplifies this: precious, radiant, transformed. Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey, and London.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eGold butterfly mixed media with hand-applied metal leaf\u003cbr\u003e\nCertificate of Authenticity\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maxim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48009798877524,"sku":null,"price":1250.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/0418\/6196\/files\/maxim-artist-formation-gold-butterfly-mixed-media-creed-gallery-ascot.jpg?v=1770197750","url":"https:\/\/creedgallery.com\/products\/maxim-formation-gold-butterfly-mixed-media","provider":"Creed Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
