Acrylic on cotton canvas on wood · Custom white painted wood float frame
“Seasons of `change ‘ exhibition Khaw Gallery, Daku, Kensington, London Dec 2025-March 2026
There is a moment when light touches the cliffs, just before the tide turns and everything glows gold.
This painting was made in direct response to that moment , the precise, fleeting instant when low Atlantic light breaks across the fractured face of the Bude Formation and the ancient rock suddenly blazes. Burnt orange and deep ochre ignite against Atlantic blue. The dark lines of fault and joint crack across the surface like a map of deep time. Below, the folded strata curve and flow - 300 million years of compression made luminous by a single shaft of light.
Light Touches the Cliffs is painted in acrylic on cotton canvas, mounted on wood and presented in a custom white painted wood float frame. The white frame lifts the painting from the wall and lets the colour breathe - the gold reads warmer, the blue deeper.
This is a painting about geology, but it is also a painting about impermanence. The rock has stood for three hundred million years. The light lasted seconds. Both are caught here.
Medium: Acrylic on cotton canvas on wood Frame: Custom float frame, white painted wood Location reference: #what3words coordinates device.showering.store
