Moving ~ A Dance of Light & Life
Moving captures an ethereal dance of light and architecture, allowing us to witness the interaction between light and structure in a way that’s both poignant and dynamic. Light passes through windows, casting reflections and illuminating spaces within and around us, mirroring the glimmers in our own eyes when we are truly alive.
The golden accents and warm tones emphasise light as a dynamic force, shimmering across the canvas to capture moments that seem to hover between reality and dream. Hues of orange, yellow, and pink play against cool greys and blues, creating a harmonious palette that feels both familiar and otherworldly.
Moving invites the viewer to be transported to a parallel cityscape, where architectural forms stand in unity, untroubled by the weight of environmental decay. A universe where humanity’s relationship with the planet is balanced and symbiotic.
But Moving offers an even deeper layer of transformation. When placed in front of a window and illuminated by daylight, the piece itself begins to almost move. Backlit by the natural world outside, the colours and textures shift, allowing light to cascade through the layers of acrylics, inks, and watercolours in a way that feels as if the cityscape is breathing.
This painting adapts to its surroundings, morphing and changing with the ebb and flow of light, embodying its title in a literal, almost magical way. That effect is intentional, inviting viewers to interact with the artwork as it reveals different facets under changing conditions.
As sunlight filters through, it unveils an illuminated world within the canvas, where each brushstroke and layers seem to glow from within. This play of transparency and opacity is central to the piece, symbolising how our surroundings and inner worlds are constantly influenced by external forces, shifting and evolving over time.
Mediums and technique contribute greatly to this transformative experience. The layering of acrylics, artist inks, and watercolours allows light to penetrate and dance across the canvas, as drips and streaks of colour accentuate the sense of movement and continuity.
The structures seem both solid and ephemeral, grounded yet open to change, much like a city that thrives on diversity and adaptation.
In this universe of Moving the piece captures the essence of flux and fluidity. The artwork lives and breathes, subtly shifting throughout the day, echoing the light that illuminates our lives and the ways in which we are forever changed by what we let in. This interplay between permanence and change invites viewers to look deeper, to explore not only the city within the frame but also the boundless world of light and life beyond it.
