About the Item
"Origin" by Abi Whitlock invites viewers to explore a moment of serene introspection from an intriguing underwater perspective. In this acrylic-on-canvas composition, the focal point is a female figure with her head above the water's surface, leaving only her suspended body visible underwater, neck down.
From this unique vantage point, viewers are immersed in the tranquil beauty of the submerged world, where the figure's reflection dances gracefully on the rippling surface. Abi Whitlock skillfully captures the essence of this moment, evoking a sense of quiet contemplation and self-awareness.
The composition brims with movement and texture as the water's surface refracts and distorts the image of the submerged body below. Delicate bubbles rise gently from beneath, hinting at the rhythmic cadence of breath and the gentle sway of the aquatic environment.
Against the serene blues of the water, the figure's vividly colored swimming costume adds a vibrant contrast, infusing the scene with a sense of vitality and energy. This juxtaposition serves to highlight the figure's presence within the watery expanse, as she becomes an enigmatic silhouette suspended in the depths.
"Origin" offers viewers a meditative exploration of self-reflection and transformation, inviting them to immerse themselves in the tranquil beauty of the underwater realm. Through the evocative portrayal of perspective, movement, and light, Abi Whitlock captures the essence of introspection, guiding viewers on a journey of self-discovery and renewal.
Signed by the artist, "Origin" stands as a testament to Abi Whitlock's mastery in capturing the essence of water and the human form from this unique underwater perspective. This exquisite artwork is available for acquisition at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online, offering art enthusiasts the opportunity to experience the profound beauty and serenity of "Origin" firsthand.

Delve into the captivating allure of each piece, a testament to Abi's remarkable talent and distinct perspective. “My work focuses predominately on the human form and how the mind and body are affected when immersed in water. This is mirrored by the way light is refracted and reflected, distorting and enhancing colour and shape. My goal is to capture the way entering the water enables the swimmer to enter an altered state of mind; a form of escapism from the real world. I do this by drawing influence and inspiration from life on the coast, trips to the beach and outdoor pools. The way I work puts emphasis on minute detail and it’s of great importance to me that every aspect of the painting is imparted with this intricate value and depth as a means to fill the observer with the sense that they, too, are becoming immersed along with the swimmer. Although I work in a hyperrealist style; I ensure that the way I paint the water creates natural abstraction within each piece. Water and its interplay with light generate unusual, distorted and complex patterns, altering the perception of everyday images. In some of my most recent work, I also include the technique of acrylic pouring; using the natural fluidity of paint to mimic the fluidity of water. The vivid, marbled colours and the uncontrolled way they flow across the canvas help to create a sense of freedom in the work; a sharp contrast to the tight realistic elements of my paintings”- Abi Whitlock
