‘Red Painting’ by Tillian

“Red is the colour of assertion, romance, strength, excitement, vitality, ambition, impulse and physical prowess. The colours and movement in this nuanced work will stir these qualities”  Tillian

In ‘Red Painting’, I conjure a tumultuous, incandescent world where colour, movement, and materiality converge. Dominated by a blazing spectrum of reds, oranges, and ochres, the painting evokes elemental forces — fire, blood, earth — and suggests an unfolding process of transformation. Rather than adhering to figure-ground conventions, this composition inhabits a liminal space between abstraction and embodiment. Sweeping brushstrokes, sharp planar intersections, and molten gradients animate the surface, generating a dynamic interplay between eruption and dissolution. Strategic inflections of lime green, lilac, and indigo slice through the dominant palette, introducing necessary tensions that prevent chromatic monotony. The painting’s vigorous surface handling — alternately dense and translucent — invites an almost tactile engagement, while its mythic overtones call to mind cycles of destruction and renewal.

Viewed symbolically, the work resonates with archetypal themes of alchemical transformation: a descent into chaos in pursuit of psychic and material rebirth. “On the one hand, emotion is the alchemical fire whose warmth brings everything into existence and whose heat burns all superfluities to ashes. But on the other hand, emotion is the moment when steel meets flint and a spark is struck forth, for emotion is the chief source of consciousness. There is no change from darkness to light or from inertia to movement without emotion”  Carl Jung

Positioned within the legacy of lyrical abstraction and gestural painting, ‘Red Painting’ asserts itself as a site of emotional intensity and sensory immersion. It is less a depiction of a subject than an invocation of forces — a furnace through which both painter and viewer are invited to pass, transformed.
