East 2–4: Gibraltar Point Acrylic

Acrylic on Paper | 20 × 30 cm (30 × 40 cm Framed) | Original Painting | Framed

Part of the Shipping Forecast series, East 2–4: Gibraltar Point translates the measured cadence of a weather report into pure colour and structure. Horizontal bands stack with quiet confidence — a lavender base giving way to heavily textured gold and ochre, rich cobalt blue, a narrow line of deep crimson, warm amber, and finally a broad sweep of yellow beneath an open sky.
The surface shifts between flat and tactile, smooth paint interrupted by the cracked, almost geological texture of the foreground band, which catches light in a way the eye keeps returning to.

There's a deliberate restraint at work — bold colours held in check by the rigidity of the horizontal format, each band contained yet part of a larger sequence. Like the forecast itself: precise, methodical, and yet capable of suggesting something far bigger than its words.
