Nighttime Quells the Frisson of Breathing Sunlight — Stephen Gibb, 36″ x 24″, oil on panel, 2020
Consider the peak of summer and the warm glowing sun. Close your eyes and feel the warmth on your face and the bright glow of your eyelids. Take a deep breath and hold in the feeling of summer like you are breathing in sunshine. This is the idea that inspired this painting and the sunlight reaching out like some incandescent juice, radiating in all directions. For fun I balanced the bright sunlight with a darker, sleepy nighttime on the left. I think my favourite feature is the trepidatious fish man, reaching into the water for the glowing skull. To me he symbolizes a certain kind of curiosity within us, that is willing to take a risk in order to snatch a prize.
