Contemporary Abstract Expressionism I Still Horizon

Price range: €299.00 through €1,699.00

Painted in acrylic, oil and mixed media on canvas, this piece is built up layer by layer with brush and palette knife. Loose drips run through the surface, giving it depth and a real sense of movement.

This painting is closely related to the one I called “Clearing Sky”, with the same composition in a cooler, more neutral palette. Here the lavender is gone and the greys are pure: soft silver, charcoal, and black, with plenty of white. The sky fills the upper half with long, soft horizontal sweeps of grey and white cloud. Patches of gold drift through it, growing stronger toward the right, where they turn a deep amber just above the horizon. A dark band of charcoal and black cuts across below the middle, and under it the gold returns in broken patches, like sunlight scattered on water. The greys are smooth and blended, while the gold is thicker and rougher, so it stands out from the surface. The limited palette of grey, white, black, and gold gives the painting a calm, elegant look that would suit a modern interior. It reads as a wide sky over still water, with the last or first light of the day coming through the cloud.

Acrylic or oil on canvas worked with a palette knife or scraper rather than a brush. In the teal and yellow areas you can see the grid of the fabric, which means those colours were applied thinly or scraped back so the paint only sits in the texture of the weave. The white is thick, with raised ridges and veined, crackled edges. This comes from pressing heavy paint onto the surface with a flat tool and pulling it away or dragging it across. Colour went down first and white was dragged over it. The white skips across the high points and leaves colour showing through the gaps, which creates the broken, eroded pattern. The matte, chalky finish and crisp layered edges are typical of acrylic, which dries fast enough to stack layers without blending.
