'Polarity Ascent' Original Acrylic Painting

Polarity Ascent is a mesmerising abstract work that captures the raw power and contrast of nature’s forces, inspired by the artist’s unforgettable view above a thunderstorm. This 76 x 76 cm acrylic on canvas employs both dry-on-dry and wet-on-dry techniques, creating rich layers of texture and colour that bring a tactile dimension to the piece.

Dark purples and blacks evoke the storm's intensity, while vibrant pinks and fiery oranges emerge from the darkness, symbolising the clash and harmony of opposing energies. The title, Polarity Ascent, reflects this meeting of contrasts—where ‘polarity’ signifies the tension between light and dark, and ‘ascent’ suggests the upward surge of energy and expression. These elements rise and blend, capturing a moment of awe and intensity as they visually convey the movement and emotion of the scene.

With its dynamic interplay of complementary hues, Polarity Ascent invites viewers to contemplate the beauty and power of contrast. This piece encapsulates the artist's journey through conflicting ideas and emotions, arriving at a heightened state of artistic expression.
