Fermata (2026) Original Mixed-media Painting by Charles BEALL

26.67 x 31.75 x 2.54cm / 26.67 x 31.75cm (actual image size)

£335.55

In music, a fermata tells the performer to hold a note or a rest longer than written, a pause suspended in time. Here almost everything is white: the frame, the ground, a small floating cube, and a slim white panel standing between two gold verticals, one painted and one leafed. Below, a broad plank of salvaged oxblood wood, its surface still marked with nail holes and wear, anchors the composition like a held low note.

The work is about restraint. The open white space isn't empty but held, the way silence is held in a fermata, and the few elements placed in it, the cube, the gold, the weathered red, carry more weight because there's so little around them.

Signed. Ready to hang.
