©Tropical Trance In Lockdown by CLT_Abstracts, Limited Edition Print
12” square limited edition Gicleè print in a white mount, signed on the print and mount, edition number included with print run of 100 max, sustainable/eco friendly wrapping, printed onto Hahnemühle German etching paper 320gsm.
This piece was created in the midst of the Covid 19 lockdown in 2020, whilst dreaming of travel to hot countries and sitting on a tropical island sipping cocktails and feeling the heat of the sun seep into my bones. I was really missing that warmth and freedom of travel, the theme of freedom and travel at that time has influenced many different pieces I created at this time.
As a Cornish artist, I am used to living near the beach and catching some rays in the midst of summer, it was only when suddenly confined to your home or local streets, I realised how much the loss of that affected me. It was so close, yet so far and the frustration of that stuck feeling just burst out of me into this piece. The vibrant contrast of the blue against the gold really helped me get that holiday craving satisfied a little and the enforced lockdown and having to look at the same four walls inspired me to create a piece with colours that whisks you away to somewhere else!
The idea that lots of water was meeting in one central whirlpool reflected the desperation I felt at the time I painted this. The gold leaf was added as a dimension of light, fantasy in terms of island treasure and also to add a dimension of heat. The kind that makes you glow and burn all at once.
