VANTA - Sodalite

“Sodalite” (2025) Oil on canvas 175 x 140 cm So dark it reads almost black in most lighting conditions, “Sodalite” only reveals its true deep blue when light hits it at certain angles. Three large rounded forms divide the canvas, separated by hairline strips of exposed white that function almost like incisions. That thin vertical line running between the forms measures impossibly narrow - maintaining such precision across this substantial format required unwavering focus. Represented through S-Gallery, available on Catawiki, this piece operates on the edge of visibility. The blue is so saturated and dark it absorbs light, creating forms that feel like voids rather than painted surfaces. Only the white lines and corner reveals anchor the composition to something readable. It’s painting as absence - the blank spaces defining what the dark field cannot. The large scale amplifies the effect. Standing before it, those dark forms seem to expand beyond their boundaries, held in check only by those razor-thin white lines that took such precision to preserve. 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.
