Still Water

Sloane Avery · No. 125

Still Water

Still Water is abstraction at its most tranquil. Avery dissolves soft-edged blocks of misty blue, seafoam and pale grey into one another with no hard line anywhere, so the surface reads like light settling on a calm lake or breath fading from glass. The low-saturation palette and atmospheric blending place the work in the meditative, almost monochrome wing of contemporary abstraction. There is no incident, no focal drama — only quiet, horizontal expanse and the slow shift of tone. Spare, soothing and deeply restful, it is designed to lower the pulse of a room. It brings stillness as a presence — a piece that seems to exhale rather than declare.

An original oil painting on canvas by Sloane Avery, painted to order — never a reproduction. Clean modern abstraction — crisp colour fields, soft gradients and a balance of hard-edge geometry and organic form in confident contemporary palettes.
