Where the Light Settles 03 & 04 - Elise Eekhout

Where the Light Settles 03 & 04 by Elise Eekhout Painting 35.4 x 15.7 :: The diptych ‘Where the Light Settles’ was inspired by a landscape I passed on my bicycle one evening on my way home from my studio. The light was already fading yet the sky was filled with intense fluorescent pinks reflected in the water. I stopped to take in the extraordinary colours and the quietness of the moment. The scene reminded me of a passage in Geert Mak’s book ‘Het ontsnapte land‘ in which he describes the long transition from evening light into darkness: the colors of the sky blending with the fields the lights appearing in the houses and the landscape gradually falling silent. I wanted to capture this brief moment between light and darkness when the landscape seems to change before your eyes and the sky becomes a palet of colors. Layers of paint and embedded text allow the colours reflections and fragments of words to emerge and recede mirroring the fleeting nature of the experience. The painting is about that moment of wonder when an ordinary landscape suddenly becomes extraordinary. :: Type: Painting Medium: Acrylic Style: Contemporary Subject: Landscape Width: 35.4 Height: 15.7 Depth: 0.8 Weight: 6 lbs Framed: yes :: All art on Zatista is original and signed.
