Description
Ocean Storm invites the viewer to pause and witness a moment of profound natural theatre. Hennie van Loggerenberg demonstrates his mastery over his medium, creating a scene that feels both vast and immediate. There is a deep, emotional tension in the work, a feeling of awe in the face of nature’s grand scale. From a colour theory perspective, the piece is a study in high contrast.
The brilliant, almost blinding white where the sun pierces the cloud creates a powerful focal point, drawing the eye in. This light spills across the deep, absorbing blacks and tumultuous greys of the storm’s underbelly, which have been deepened with ink to enhance their weight and presence. This stark juxtaposition of light and dark evokes a feeling of sublime power, a moment of majestic beauty just before the sky unleashes its full force upon the water.
