The Vast Unknown – Oil Painting on Semi-Glossy Paper Poster
from €21.24
The Vast Unknown from the Nocturnal Passage series is an ethereal portrayal of a transient bridge stretching into an ambiguous beyond, embodying the theme of embracing uncertainty. Created in 2020 with monochromatic oil paint, this piece utilizes a Grisaille technique—adding and releasing layers of paint—to convey the allegory of uncovering the unknown. The bridge serves as a symbol of transition, inviting the viewer to step into a hidden, magical realm that lies just beyond the familiar. This work explores the courage to move through the murk of ambiguity and into the transformative expanse that awaits beyond our perception.
Where are you on your soul’s path, and what is your relationship to the unknown? Infuse your space with magic, mystery, and introspection through these paintings, inviting reflection on these deep questions. They encourage self-discovery and connection, while serving as a reminder of the mystical realm beyond time and space that we’re all collectively experiencing across space and time, guiding you on your journey through the unknown.
Nocturnal Passage (2020) Artist Statement
Derived from my own night photography, this series delves into the duality between the natural and man-made, the real and the imaginary. Inspired by Limerick's historic streets and the River Shannon, the paintings serve as a reminder of the mystical other realm lurking just beneath our own, just out of sight. At night, these streets take on an uncanny atmosphere; in their quiet emptiness, they almost resemble film sets, not fully real places.
These urban landscapes are portrayed as the nocturnal version of the familiar world, where that which has been quelled by the day’s light comes out to play. Using photography and grisaille techniques, I stretch and distort the rigid urban structures, allowing new perspectives to emerge. By blending abstraction with realism, the works invite viewers to explore a transient, liminal space—where the hidden and forgotten aspects of existence rise to the surface and the boundary between reality and illusion dissolves.
