Still Here

£500.00

Oil on canvas abstract painting structured through a strong vertical divide between dense layered oil application and open white surface. Repeated circular gestures are used to build a physical presence which are stronger in the darker field, while the handwritten phrase “Still Here” sits quietly within the lighter space, allowing the painting to explore persistence, emotional presence, and the relationship between surface, movement, and text.

Description

This oil on canvas painting is built around a strong vertical division between a dense, layered field and an open white surface. Both areas are formed through repeated circular gestures allowing the movement of the body to remain visible within the paint. The white space holds a quieter surface, creating tension between presence and absence, weight and openness.

The handwritten phrase “Still Here” appears within the lighter field as a simple but unresolved statement, functioning less as a message and more as a marker of persistence or emotional trace. The work explores how gesture, surface, and text can create a psychological space without depicting a specific subject.
