Peace and Emptiness

This contemporary figurative artwork by Garry Harper presents a tranquil portrait focused on a woman in front of a seascape scene. Capturing the back profile of a young woman in the foreground, the anonymity in this piece creates a mysticism. This is suffused with the artist’s acrylic approach, applying muted, earth tones and realistic brushwork to increase the subtle and poised nature of the piece. Suffused with a palette of orange hues that creates a warming atmosphere. This is combined with a sense of stillness and this absence of movement emphasising a calming ambience imbued in the artwork. This is a sensitive homage to the young muse incoporated in the artwork. Involving a mystical beach scene that elicits an uplifting sense of curiosity, enticing narrative aspects emerge in this ethereal scene. This original artwork is painted on board, hand signed by the artist, and is framed ready to be displayed.
