AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
“Benthic” (2025)
Oil on canvas
180 x 130 cm
Deep blue oil paint moves across this canvas like water in motion - darker passages suggest ocean depths while lighter areas bloom upward like bioluminescence or northern lights viewed underwater. VANTA has worked the paint to create atmospheric shifts that feel organic rather than designed, as if capturing something transient and alive.
The application creates zones where blue becomes nearly turquoise in its luminosity, contrasting with areas that sink into near-black depths. Represented by S-Gallery and available on Catawiki, this piece operates in that liminal space between representation and abstraction - it suggests oceanic phenomena without depicting anything specific. The eye reads movement and light even though the image remains resolutely abstract.
The substantial vertical format enhances the sense of depth and space, allowing these shifts in tone and intensity to develop across significant territory. Light seems to emanate from within certain areas while other zones absorb it completely, creating a push-pull dynamic that keeps the surface activated.
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.
