Ellen Nicholls — Blue Horizon

Ember Antiques Art & Clocks presents Blue Horizon, an original contemporary cityscape by Western Australian artist Ellen Nicholls.

Executed in a striking panoramic format, Blue Horizon presents an abstracted metropolitan skyline rising above a broad expanse of reflected blue.

Nicholls builds the city from expressive vertical strokes and layered architectural forms in cobalt, indigo, violet, grey and touches of green, punctuated by fine linear details suggesting towers, masts and the irregular geometry of an urban skyline.

The comparatively restrained upper background allows the intensely coloured city to dominate the composition, while the broad foreground dissolves into softer blue and white reflections.

Rather than depicting a particular city literally, Blue Horizon captures the rhythm, density and changing light of a contemporary waterfront skyline.
