Melting Shadows

About the Piece

"Melting Shadows" is an exquisite paradox, a dance of light and darkness captured in a symphony of charcoal tones and delicate pops of pastel pink. This painting, with its dynamic, wing-like forms, feels like the graceful unfolding of hidden truths – a tender revelation in every curve and contour. It’s as if the very shadows are dissolving into a soft, luminous embrace, whispering secrets of transformation and flight. The contrast between the moody charcoal and the playful pastel pink creates a mesmerising balance, inviting us to explore the beauty found in life’s fleeting moments. This piece is a celebration of the delicate interplay between light and dark, where the ethereal and the grounded come together in a breathtaking display of vulnerability and strength.

Included in the Paradox Exhibition

Part of a collection of works from Amica's solo Paradox at Art Images Gallery, Adelaide. Amica extends on her familiar sensibility for working with colour and form, to produce works with an elevated energetic charge. Though seemingly consistent with previous work, these new explorations consistently extend a sense of the sublime that captures and amplifies an essence, perhaps a metaphysical quality that transcends simple explanation, something that explores the concept of ‘self’ through notions of expansion and growth - while simultaneously engaging in a return trip to the core of being.

Either way, the works operate with a subtle newness. They introduce the next phase of exploration evidencing that Amica’s practice, as with nature, is in a gradual yet constant state of change. A living, breathing expression of life and the mystery of creation.
