Liquid Light - 160 x 160cm - acrylic & oil on canvas by Freya Horsley

At Revolving Gallery we're all about the art so I am going to start talking about the art. Looking through some of the new images I chose the one above to talk about. This really caught my eye, although a bit moody it has a amazing quality of light that is hard to achieve in paint. You can tell from the way Freya paints the passion and respect she has for weather, not only in terms of natural force but emotive force. when you look at this painting you can be transformed to a memory of being out somewhere remote in bad weather, it gives me that feeling you get when you resign yourself to this fact. Yet with that glimmer of light coming through you get hope, with the dark clouds it's a bitter/sweet piece but it's also enlightening. Technically the use of layers and both oil and acrylic give all this atmosphere, with the smooth blends cut into by defined marks adding to this.
