Visually represents the dynamic movement of water, particularly the currents and waves found beneath the ocean’s surface.

This expansive artwork immerses the viewer in a visceral depiction of underwater currents, marked by an explosive interplay of blue hues and white splashes that mimic the churning ocean depths. Brunswick uses a vigorous application of paint to create a highly textured surface that enhances the sensation of movement and depth.

The piece is structured around a central explosion of white against deep and lighter blues, suggesting the tumultuous activity of water as it reacts to underwater currents and forces. The use of oil paint allows for layering and depth, giving the piece a three-dimensional effect that pulls the viewer into its depths. This work combines the tranquility of deep blues with the violent force of white caps, capturing the dual nature of water as both a peaceful and powerful element.

“…the unseen forces of nature.”
“the essence of an underwater wave.”
“..the beauty and chaos of oceanic movements.”
