Copper Cloud

In Copper Cloud, I move away from the existential drama and focus instead on the poetry of atmosphere and material alchemy. This large-format piece is a celebration of ephemeral light and grounded texture, capturing a moment of transition in both weather and emotion.

The dominant palette is one of nuanced, soft contemplation: A vast field of vertical strokes in ethereal Light Grey shades creates a sense of continuous movement—a downpour, a dissolving mist, or perhaps the rush of a passing thought. These strokes are intentionally rendered with a raw, almost frantic energy, suggesting a dynamic, atmospheric event.

Breaking the serenity of the grey is the introduction of warm, earthy Brown tones and deep Black accents. These darker masses cluster powerfully along a central axis, creating an abstracted, turbulent horizon line that anchors the composition. They read as a city skyline dissolving in the rain, or perhaps a rough, subterranean layer revealed beneath the clouds.

The critical element is the central, explosive band of Copper Leaf. Applied with decisive, horizontal gestures, the copper tears across the entire width of the canvas. It is not merely a stripe; it is a raw burst of brilliance—an oxidized sunrise, a fissure in the earth, or the moment the sun breaks through a dense cloudbank. The copper material catches the light dramatically, injecting profound warmth and a metallic, antique gravity into the cool, swift atmosphere of the greys.

Copper Cloud is about finding beauty in the volatile and transient. It speaks to the idea of a precious, vital core (Copper) persisting beautifully amidst the chaos and neutrality of the daily flow (Grey).
