Held Light, an acrylic painting on handmade Indian watercolour paper by Chris White.Held Light artwork by Chris White displayed against a timber backdrop.

HELD LIGHT

Held Light explores the warmth that lingers after a fleeting moment has passed. Concentric layers of ochre and earth tones gather towards the centre, suggesting light that is quietly remembered rather than intensely seen. Each brushstroke remains visible, preserving the honesty of the painting’s making.

Created through an intuitive process of addition and restraint, the work reflects a belief that richness often emerges through simplicity. It invites contemplation, encouraging the viewer to pause and discover stillness within the gentle movement of the circle.

Haiku

Evening keeps warm hands,
One ember outlives the flame,
Night carries its glow.
