The Ocean Remembers

This artwork captures a semi-submerged viewpoint at sea, looking back towards the sand and foothills. The clear waters are alive with fish and sea flora, bringing vibrant pops of colour and life to the piece. One swimmer enters the water with her head still above the surface, while others are already exploring the underwater world below. In the distance, a father stands on a paddle board with two children perched at the front, enjoying the ride. The coastal and marine landscape is abstracted in a way that conveys the feeling of the ocean's light and movement - not the world as it is, but as it is felt. Lauren Esplin masterfully uses colour and expressive mark-making to bring this sensation to life. The expansive environment is beautifully juxtaposed by the finer details of the figures - a signature of Esplin's distinctive style.
