In light, we transform (2025)Acrylic painting by Mengqiu Li

50 x 70 x 3.5cm (unframed)

£1,766.85

Product Overview
This piece depicts a series of fluid, interconnected scenes. On the left, a blue figure stands within a celestial orb, seemingly anchored yet ready for flight. To the right, elongated, ghostly figures in deep blues and ochres observe or guide a central burst of light. The composition is held together by a sweeping, golden arc that suggests a path or a cosmic bridge, leading the eye through a world where physical boundaries have dissolved into pure energy.

Inspiration & Appeal
Inspired by Abstract Expressionism and Surrealism, this painting taps into the "inner world" of the viewer. What makes it unique is its dualistic energy: it is simultaneously chaotic and peaceful. The bold use of primary colors—vibrant yellows, deep blues, and earthy reds—creates a visual rhythm that demands attention. A buyer would find value in its narrative ambiguity; every time you look at it, you might see a different story—a birth, a journey, or a quiet revelation. It’s a conversation starter that brings a sense of wonder and intellectual depth to a space.

Craftsmanship
The artist utilized acrylic applied with brushes to create a rich, tactile surface.

Layering: You can see "wet-on-wet" blending in the backgrounds, creating those soft, hazy gradients.

Sgraffito & Detail: Fine lines and scratched textures add a sense of movement to the central light source.

Luminosity: By contrasting dark, earthy tones at the bottom with bright, translucent yellows in the center, the artist achieved a "glowing" effect that makes the piece feel back-lit.
