Mirage Sun In Blue And Pink

Mirage Sun in Blue And Pink is from the Mirage series presenting a striking departure from the traditional horizon line, instead centring on a radiant circular form that appears to hover between landscape and cosmos. Built through countless layers of dripped and gestural paint, the composition draws the viewer towards a luminous core, surrounded by concentric rings of vivid colour and energetic mark-making.

Rich blues frame the canvas, giving way to bands of pink, violet, and fiery orange that pulse outward from the centre. The heavily textured surface, animated by splatters and looping lines, creates a powerful sense of movement, as though light itself is expanding across the painting.

Balancing spontaneity with structure, the work explores themes of atmosphere, heat, and perception that are central to the Mirage series. While entirely abstract, the painting evokes both celestial phenomena and the shimmering distortions of the Australian landscape, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between light, colour, and space.

Dynamic and immersive, the piece transforms the familiar notion of a mirage into something elemental and universal—a meditation on energy, luminosity, and the ever-changing nature of our surroundings.
