I've Known Rivers (2017)Acrylic painting
by Margaret Lipsey

2 Artist Reviews

£3,718.45

I’ve Known Rivers is built on restraint, gravity, and quiet endurance. A dense horizontal band cuts across a field of white, its weight anchored by downward drips that feel deliberate rather than uncontrolled. The surface carries evidence of time, pressure, and repetition, marks that suggest accumulation rather than interruption.

The composition holds a strong internal horizon. Above it, space opens and breathes. Below it, gravity takes over. The contrast between stillness and movement gives the work its emotional charge, a sense of history held in the body, not explained, simply present.

This painting offers depth without excess. It carries a steady, grounded authority and works powerfully in spaces that value clarity, containment, and emotional resonance over ornament.
