Artwork Description

White Hot Coral

20.0 x 10.5 inches

The artwork is a stylized representation of an underwater scene. It features a variety of sea creatures amidst aquatic flora. The painting is characterized by its soft tones, flowing lines, and an almost dream-like quality. In the foreground, there are several stingrays swimming amongst bleached coral plants. The rays are depicted in shades of white and grey with subtle hints of blues and yellows, contrasting with the darker, teal-colored background of the water. The faded color is a referral to the loss of life due to climate change and human neglect. Dotting the composition, there are small, round elements in colors ranging from white to orange, resembling bubbles or possibly pearls. Amongst the flora, plants and seaweed are shown in various shades of green, grey, and pink. One can also observe plants that look similar to anemones and corals, with textures and patterns that add depth to the piece. The brushwork suggests movement and the light reflected within the scene creates a serene yet dynamic underwater atmosphere.
