“Vessel”
Dimensions: 70x110 cm
Medium: Acrylic on canvas with hand-sewn detail
"Vessel" is an evocative and textured piece that merges the bold expressiveness of acrylic paint with the delicate intricacy of hand-sewn stitches.
The artwork's central form, resembling a healed wound or a vessel, is accentuated by the stark contrast between the vibrant, fiery background and the muted, earthy tones of the stitched area.
The stitches traverse the canvas, symbolising repair, connection, and the passage of time.
Created during the challenging times of COVID-19 in London, when materials were scarce and financial resources limited, this piece stands as a testament to the artist's resilience and ingenuity.
The tactile quality of the piece, achieved through the artist's meticulous handwork, adds a compelling physicality that draws you in, making "Vessel" a profound statement piece for any collection.
