About the artwork

Dark washes of blue-green coalesce over creases and textured fronts in Light Ripples. The combination of wet and dry brush strokes further immerse the viewer into deep blue, almost as if looking at a vast ocean - one cannot help but feel an unbidden sense of peace. Contrasted by sharper, controlled strokes of black in the foreground. Smooth waves of calligraphy emphasise its negative space against the physicality of its textures, bringing about a meditative balance between form and colour.
