Medium: acrylic on canvas
Dimensions: 76.2 x 101.6cm
Condition: New
A vivid exploration of colour, movement and the energy of life. Brilliant yellow moves through intense fields of crimson, magenta and violet, interrupted by flashes of turquoise and orange.
At its centre, an almost figurative presence appears to emerge from the colour itself, neither fully formed nor entirely abstract.
Created intuitively, the painting developed through the spontaneous interaction of colour, gesture and form. There is a sense of movement that cannot quite be contained, of something continually coming into existence.
This piece has appeared on the cover of Eros & Psyche.

Painting
Life
Marguerite LaingAuckland
An intensely expressive painting in which saturated crimson, magenta, violet and luminous orange move through layers of sweeping gestures, delicate markings and unexpected passages of light. The composition developed intuitively, allowing colour, movement and form to find their own relationships. There is a tension between the bold, expansive gestures and the quieter, almost suspended forms within them. My painting is informed by a lifelong fascination with the inner dimensions of human experience, particularly those aspects of ourselves that resist definition but may find expression through art. I hope this work invites the viewer beyond its immediate intensity of colour into something more personal, an experience that cannot necessarily be explained in words.

Unbridled
Marguerite LaingAuckland
Sweeping movements of deep indigo, violet and turquoise surge across a brilliant field of orange, red and gold. Within the composition, an almost animal presence seems to emerge, suggesting the force and momentum of a horse in full gallop. The painting carries an instinctive sense of movement and freedom. Its forms are neither fully recognisable nor entirely abstract, allowing the viewer to experience the energy of the painting without being confined to a particular image.

Confluence
Marguerite LaingAuckland
Gallery description An exuberant gathering of colour, gesture and movement. Turquoise, cobalt, violet and magenta converge with brilliant passages of orange and yellow, while sweeping white gestures and descending lines create a sense of energy and spontaneity. The painting developed intuitively, allowing colours and forms to respond to one another, creating unexpected relationships and a sense of movement that remains open to interpretation.

Rain
Marguerite LaingAuckland
Undulating fields of turquoise, ochre, orange, rose and deep pink stretch across the canvas, interrupted by long, descending lines of rain. The painting moves between landscape and abstraction, with broad passages of colour suggesting hills, valleys and distant horizons. The descending marks introduce another rhythm, creating a relationship between the movement of rain and the changing forms beneath it. There is both stillness and movement within the composition, leaving the viewer free to discover their own landscape.

Glow
Marguerite LaingAuckland
Luminous passages of gold, apricot, coral and soft orange create a composition filled with warmth and light. Across the upper canvas, sweeping gestures and richly textured forms suggest movement and transformation. Beneath them, the painting opens into an expansive field of colour, where subtle variations of light and texture create a sense of depth and stillness. The work developed intuitively, allowing the relationship between expressive gesture and open space to emerge through the process of painting.
