Where Power Rests (2025)Acrylic painting by Margaret Lipsey
22.86 x 30.48cm (unframed)
£218.37
Original artwork description
Where Power Rests is a figurative abstract work that examines inner authority through restraint, vulnerability, and compositional focus. A softly rendered figure emerges within a muted field of ochre and pale green, while a concentrated bloom of magenta and violet anchors the composition and draws the eye inward.
Delicate line work and translucent acrylic passages create a sense of suspended movement, allowing form, gesture, and color to communicate psychological depth rather than narrative resolution. The contrast between subtle structure and saturated color emphasizes presence, embodiment, and emotional control.
This contemporary figurative abstraction appeals to collectors seeking original works on paper that balance expressive mark making with quiet intensity. The intimate scale and refined palette make it well suited for private interiors and curated collections focused on emotional nuance and modern figurative painting.
