ABOUT THIS PAINTING
This simple watercolour study explores minimalism and the careful control of washes and gradients to achieve a sense of lightness. While open to interpretation, it is intended to depict a delicate ice cloud streaking high above the Earth at around 25,000 feet, shaped by powerful winds from the jet stream.
In Latin, cirrus means a curl or a tuft — like a lock of hair or a wisp — aptly describing the cloud’s graceful, fleeting form.
Abstract Art
Abstract art is a style that does not aim to represent reality accurately. It uses shapes, colours, and forms to express ideas or emotions, often without recognisable subjects.
Abstraction
Abstraction is the process of simplifying or distorting real-world elements in art. It can be used in both representational and non-representational work to focus on form, feeling, or concept.
The painting is presented against a white border and framed in a rich wooden frame, which complements the tones of the artwork.
Offered with standard 2mm glass, with the option to upgrade to a UV acrylic screen for enhanced protection - learn more
