Uncharted is a commanding black and white abstract painting reminiscent of the 1960’s. Against an airy white ground, thick sculptural brushwork of ebony black, cascades across the surface. The painting is built up with remarkable physical depth through the impasto technique, where paint becomes topography.
The composition moves with the confidence of a calligraphic gesture and the weight of geological map. Look longer and it shifts… a coastline, a figure in motion, an ink-stone impression, a cartographer’s unfinished continent. The work resists a single reading, which is precisely its power. Uncharted is not a painting that tells you what to see; it asks what you the viewer’s interpretation is.
Uncharted by Stephen Hansrote is an original black and white abstract painting on artist canvas board. The artist signature and monogram are on the reverse. The artwork is mounted in a carved frame with a warm antique gold burnished gilding. The frame offers an elegant classical look, almost ironic gravitas to the raw, gestural marks of the painting.
