Collection: ATUH Page 202 - Ephemeral Hour Residue Collection

Titled Ephemeral Hour Residue, this vertical image is a striking visual interpretation of time dissolving into thin air, symbolically depicted through a Tachism style painting. The artwork is full of motion, with a seemingly chaotic, yet purposeful arrangement of colors and forms throughout. At the center of the composition, a ghostly, almost ethereal profile of a face emerges from a mist of vibrant hues. The visage appears contemplative, gazing sideways into the unknown. Its form is crafted from soft, swirling patterns of white, blue, and rust, suggesting the fragility and transient nature of existence. The face seems to be dissolving or vaporizing, with its contours dissipating into the surrounding space. The backdrop is a canvas of vertical streaks and drips, utilizing a spectrum ranging from warm amber and copper tones to the coolness of deep blues and grays, which both contrasts with and complements the central figure. The paint appears to be running down the length of the canvas, contributing to the sense of fleeting moments being washed away by the flow of time. Intricate details such as circles, dots, and bursts reminiscent of effervescent bubbles add to the dynamic and ephemeral quality of the piece. These elements seem to dance around the core figure, some trailing off like comet tails, others gathering with intensity near the face. This enigmatic piece invites contemplation on the nature of time and the lingering essence it leaves behind.
