KEEL

KEEL
108 × 122 cm | Acrylic on canvas

Echoing the clean geometry of a ship’s keel, KEEL is a study in structure, direction and light. Bold black lines frame expansive fields of cobalt blue, mineral grey and warm ivory, creating a composition that sits somewhere between architecture, coastline and memory. Calm, balanced and quietly monumental, it evokes a sense of place while remaining open to interpretation.

Original artwork by Joanna Wolthuizen, painted in Melbourne, Australia.
