“In the Light” © Peter Baagøe Jepsen, Acrylic on canvas, 139 x 123 cm (54¾” x 48½) Unframed
The cold and solid stone walls, nearly a millennium old would seem impenetrable if not for a small humble window, yet sufficient for life and warmth to pass. Once inside, the light awakens the room with life.
The connection between figure and light lends significance to the light, so perfectly defining the beauty of the figure as it competes with the light itself for the viewer’s attention.
The the monochrome and cool tones of the room in stark contrast to the strength of life shown by the chromatically strong warmth of the female figure, that even at its unprotected and most vulnerable state can bring life to the coldest and darkest surroundings.
