AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Aura
Aura is a painting series exploring the soft field of light that seems to emanate from a body of color — the quiet radiance that surrounds a saturated source, halo-like, before dissolving into the surrounding air. Where earlier works in First Light, Horizon, Afterglow, and Retention trace the arrival, spread, lingering, and persistence of luminosity, Aura turns toward what color gives off: the felt presence of a hue, the atmosphere it casts around itself.
The works continue a conversation with James Turrell's investigations of perceptual space, and draw on the chromatic fields of Mark Rothko, the saturated immersions of Yves Klein, and the soft gradients of Wolfgang Tillmans' abstract photograms — artists for whom color, edge, and transition carry the weight that line and form do elsewhere.
Each canvas begins with thin, vibrant acrylic laid in layered fields. A wide brush is drawn across the surface in a single, repeated motion until the pigment thins to near-transparency, allowing the white of the canvas beneath to glow through. Under certain lighting the paintings stop reading as paint entirely and seem lit from within. A heavy varnish finishes each work with a glossy, reflective skin that deepens the sense of looking into rather than at the surface.
Aura is a series about emanation — the soft, surrounding light a color carries with it, and the way a single hue can fill the space around it long before the eye finds its edge.
Shipping:
The work is delivered without a frame (professional packaging, rolled in a tube). it can easily be restretched by a professional or on your own, this is also cheaper then the otherwise increased cost of shipping when sending paintings stretched
The measurements indicated are those of the painting stretched and mounted on a frame (The actual
measurements of the canvas are larger to allow it to be mounted on a frame 2-4 cm thick.
Disclaimer:
Process photos included in the listing show studies and works in progress, as well as close up photos of showing the structure of the canvas.
