VANTA - Suspension VIII - NO RESERVE

Suspension
Suspension is a painting series exploring the moment color seems to hover — held weightlessly between surface and light, neither fully arriving nor fully dissolving. Each work centers on a soft, radiant core that floats within a darker surround, the pigment thinned to the point where it feels less applied than suspended, as if the color were caught mid-drift in the space just above the canvas.

The works are in 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 varnish finishes each work with a glossy, reflective skin that deepens the sense of looking into rather than at the surface.

Suspension is a series about weightlessness — color held in place without anchor, light caught in a quiet hover, the eye slowing to meet a hue that seems to float just out of reach.
