This artwork is from the artists Northern Lights collection. This collection is inspired by the artist's travels and experience of witnessing the awe-inspiring Northern Lights also known as the Aurora Borealis. To see this natural phenomenon, she traveled to the northernmost city in Norway. It required venturing far from city lights, standing in freezing temperatures, and waiting in the stillness of a dark February night. But when the lights finally appeared, the moment was magical—every bit of discomfort suddenly was irrelevant. Created with the various hues of the most vibrant colors of the Aurora, the works capture both the intensity of color and the serenity of the experience. For the artist, this journey became a powerful metaphor: a reflection of what it feels like to endure dark and turbulent times, holding onto hope and patiently waiting for a moment of light. The Northern Lights serves as a reminder that even in the darkest of times, recognizing and embracing the little joys in life is what truly makes life worth living. A reminder to keep hope alive.
Why collect this work?
Skylure builds its image from tightly repeated contours, making rounded forms hover between luminous atmospheric events and solid, almost architectural bodies.
- Deeride links this 2025 painting to her experience of the aurora borealis in northern Norway. That artist-reported origin clarifies the emphasis on light emerging from darkness without fixing the forms as literal landscape.
- In the photograph, nested blue, pink, green and pale lines gather into arches, discs and cascading columns against a dark field. Cropping at the edges implies continuation, while overlapping forms compress depth into a dense field of interrupted signals.
- Catalogued as textured plaster, acrylic and coloured foil on canvas, the mixed medium permits relief, opaque colour and reflective accents to coexist. Here, those elements may sharpen the contrast between the dark ground and broken passages of apparent illumination.
- The work is particularly useful for considering how abstraction can translate a fleeting natural event without depicting a recognisable sky. Its repeated contours preserve structure while allowing aurora, topography and electronic interference to remain plausible readings.
