Description
In the Current is an original contemporary mixed media artwork exploring movement, repetition, and the quiet strength of natural flow.
This highly textured 3D piece is created using hand-sculpted modelling clay elements, carefully arranged to form a rhythmic composition. The surface is finished with layered acrylic paints in calming shades of blue — a colour palette that brings depth, stillness, and balance to the work.
The fish forms suggest movement within natural boundaries, reflecting the idea of following a path shaped by unseen forces. Repeated dark blue sculptural elements explore homogeneity and unity, demonstrating how identical shapes can create harmony when grouped together.
The artwork is presented in a custom-made dark blue frame, intentionally chosen to complement and deepen the overall composition. The dimensional surface interacts beautifully with light, enhancing its sculptural quality.
