Heart Throb' is a captivating limited edition dye sublimation piece by Doug Hyde, seamlessly blending simplicity with profound emotion. Measuring 36 x 36 inches and elegantly framed in high gloss white floating, this artwork encapsulates Hyde's signature motif – the smile – in a neon-infused portrayal that radiates joy and warmth.

The use of crisp whites and soft greys for the facial outline contrasts strikingly with the surrounding darkness, creating an illusion of glowing neon that captures the viewer's gaze. Below this emblematic smile rests a small red heart on what appears to be a pedestal—a simple but powerful symbol of love and happiness.
The artwork’s palette is meticulously chosen; velvety blacks form the vast majority of the canvas, providing depth and emphasizing the vividness of neon accents. Splashes of crimson draw attention to the heart, symbolizing passion amidst serene grays and soothing whites.
Doug Hyde's 'Heart Throb' is more than just visual art; it's an invitation to feel—to revel in positivity and embrace affection. Ideal for modern spaces or as a standout piece in any collection, it promises to bring smiles and light into every room it graces.
