“Liminal” (2025) Oil on canvas 130 x 100 cm “Liminal” returns to VANTA’s methodical layering approach - a background built up patiently over multiple sessions, each thin layer of solvents and varnishes adding subtle depth and luminosity. Only after achieving this glowing foundation did the artist apply bold deep red strokes that cut across the prepared surface with confident energy. Available through S-Gallery on Catawiki, this piece demonstrates the dramatic contrast between slow preparation and decisive execution. The background required time and patience, layer after careful layer building up that warm glow. The red marks on top happened relatively quickly, placed with the certainty that comes from knowing exactly what the prepared ground can support. The more intimate scale makes this interplay between foundation and gesture particularly effective. Those bold red strokes command attention while the layered background provides depth that keeps the eye engaged. It’s two completely different approaches to oil painting unified in one composition - the patient builder and the confident gestural painter working in harmony.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 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 2-3cm thick.
