Bright Light
Sept. 2024

This captivating painting features a bold fusion of realism and abstraction, instantly captivating the viewer. Against a bright, solid pink background, the work features the silhouette of a character whose torso is beautifully detailed with a texture evoking the softness and opulence of a white fur winter coat. The subtle shading of the fur adds a tactile and luxurious dimension to the composition. However, what really catches the eye is the character’s unusual face. Rather than conventional human features, we see a stylised light bulb, with a distinct filament and layers of vibrant colours - yellow, red, orange and blue - which create an electrical aura around the bulb. This bold choice of replacing the human head with a light bulb ignites the imagination, symbolising the light of ingenuity, innovative ideas and creativity. The striking contrast between the realistic texture of the fur and the abstract element of the light bulb allows one to navigate between material reality and conceptual illumination. The character’s hand placed confidently on the hip in black and white, adds a touch of defiance and confidence to the character, emphasising a feeling of power. This work, through its bold choices and this unique juxtaposition, invites the viewer to reflect on the intersections between materiality and creative thinking, while offering an irresistible visual spectacle.
