"A Whisper of the Ocean" is a striking abstract expressionist piece defined by its forceful movement and cool color palette. The vertical 24 in x 36 in canvas is entirely framed by a thick border of deep, solid ultramarine blue, which dramatically contains the vibrant action at the painting's core.
The composition is built from a dynamic series of broad, sweeping diagonal strokes that radiate out from the lower-left corner, covering the canvas in a powerful, outward motion. The painting utilizes a limited but impactful color scheme of various indigo, navy, and sky blues juxtaposed with areas of brilliant white. This skillful use of contrasting light and dark values creates an intense sense of depth and speed, effectively suggesting the powerful rush of a deep-sea current or the churning motion of a wave.
The visible impasto brushwork enhances the texture, emphasizing the raw, energetic quality of the paint. The title, "A Whisper of the Ocean," perfectly captures the work's dual nature:Try it!
