1:54pm - Boy Blue
63 x 63cm
Acrylic on canvas
Flooded Gum Float Frame
Suspended in liquid light, a young man moves with quiet determination through the underwater realm. Viewed from below, his torso cuts through the water with purposeful grace, chin angled away as he navigates his aquatic world, transformed into a figure of classical beauty caught between surface and depth.
The composition divides between the shimmering water's surface above and the shared space of open ocean and sandy bottom below. Free markings dance across his chest where bright sun penetrates the water, creating shifting patterns of light. The palette of muted French blue flows through aqua highlights and rust accents, capturing the warm filtration of afternoon sun and the intimate solitude of the swimmer's journey.
