Ephemeral
Acrylic and oil on canvas
By Christopher Saliba
150 cm x 100 cm x 5 cm
Unframed
Signed by the artist
In Ephemeral the spontaneity of Christopher Saliba’s approach to abstract art is reminiscent of action painting. His penchant for colour and its aesthetic and sensual attributes owes much to the influence of abstract expressionist painters. Dramatic forms are carved with a palette knife or incised with sharp utensils into the dense coloured surfaces of his canvases. Filtering beams and shafts of light, suggested by the ephemeral qualities of thin and diluted paint, penetrate dark crevices and densely textured surfaces to heighten the underlying spiritual drama.
