Adrian Paye’s work commands attention with an electrifying oval of pure cobalt that seems to pulse from the paper’s surface. Jagged, smoke-like blacks bite into the radiant blue, while a rugged rust-brown ground anchors the composition, evoking both volcanic heat and cosmic depth. The exposed, deckle-cut edge of the sheet reinforces its hand-made immediacy, making the viewer keenly aware of the artist’s touch. The result is a mesmerising portal that invites you to hover at the boundary between earth and ether, surface and void.
