AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
“Pelagic” (2025)
Oil on canvas
130 x 100 cm
Without reserve price
A single shade of blue becomes an entire color spectrum through strategic paint application. VANTA builds darker areas by laying paint on thick, letting it sit heavy on the canvas. Lighter zones emerge where the blue thins out, allowing more light to reflect back through. The result reads as multiple blues despite being one pigment manipulated through density alone.
Represented by S-Gallery and featured on Catawiki with no reserve price, this piece demonstrates how technical mastery can create complexity from simplicity. The stacked forms appear to glow from within where paint runs thin, while thicker applications create shadows and depth. It’s painting reduced to essentials - one color, careful control, and an understanding of how thickness affects perception.
The more intimate scale makes these effects particularly readable, inviting close inspection of exactly how paint density shifts across the surface to create the illusion of varied tones.
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 of this size 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 2-4cm thick.
