About the Item

Magenta Lime, 2023 by Ptolemy Mann. Acrylic, acrylic gouache and liquid watercolour on raw linen. 61.5 x 76 cm. A radiant abstract painting that explores colour as emotion. "Magenta Lime" is an original artwork by British artist Ptolemy Mann, renowned for her distinctive approach to contemporary abstraction. This piece stands out through its intense chromatic layering, achieved with a blend of acrylic, gouache and liquid watercolour pigment on raw linen. Saturated tones of magenta, coral, and lime green are suspended within a rectangular field, unfolding in soft transitions and bold verticals. The rawness of the linen allows the pigments to bleed and breathe, creating an atmosphere that feels both luminous and grounded. This painting is unique not only in its vibrant palette, but also in Mann’s painterly language, which stems from years of working as a master weaver. Her sensitivity to rhythm, transparency and spatial tension is evident here—though there is no textile, the movement of colour behaves as if woven. The artwork measures 61.5 x 76 cm and is in impeccable condition. It is professionally stretched and presented unframed, allowing the natural edge of the linen to be visible—a deliberate aesthetic choice. The surface reveals subtle granularity and tonal gradation, characteristics that cannot be replicated digitally or mechanically. "Magenta Lime" is part of Mann’s ongoing investigation into colour as a vehicle for emotional and meditative experience. It appeals to collectors seeking a contemplative yet visually striking piece, rooted in both process and presence. This is an opportunity to acquire a work that merges technical skill with sensorial intensity—an authentic expression of contemporary painting at its most refined.

Sliding Colors Magenta & Green, Painting, Acrylic on Paper
By Cintia García
Located in Yardley, PA
All this series is about how the colour floods the upper space of the support, the line becomes a pure chromatic manifestation, it ceases to be the object to become a medium. The lower white field balances the outburst of colour and the white lines which figured in my previous works, here, they disappear. Each artwork has many layers of color and nuances, twenty layers average or above. The name of series is SLIDING COLORS because the large-scale brush slides from the top down of the paper.
