Artwork Description

Between Angles and Air explores the meeting point between structure and openness. Interlocking planes of ochre, turquoise, white and deep charcoal appear to assemble and dissolve at the same time, creating a quiet tension between solidity and movement.
The composition suggests architectural fragments, shifting landscapes or remembered forms without settling into a fixed narrative. Layers of translucent colour and textured passages allow light to move across the surface, while the dark linear elements provide a framework that holds the painting together.
Rather than describing a particular place, the work invites viewers to bring their own associations, finding moments of balance, transition and discovery within the abstract space.

Artist Bio

Ted Forbes is a Newcastle-based self-taught abstract artist working primarily in acrylic on hessian and canvas. Beginning his artistic journey after retirement, he creates intuitive paintings that explore the relationship between architecture, landscape and organic form. Influenced by Albert Namatjira, Russell Drysdale, Wassily Kandinsky and Nicolas de Staël, his work has found homes with collectors through Blue Thumb and local exhibitions.
