About the Item

Neon Light (After Japan), 2025 by Ptolemy Mann. 56 x 76 cm. Liquid watercolor pigment, radiant watercolor and acrylic gouache on paper. A vivid abstract painting shaped by gesture and memory. Neon Light (After Japan) is an original painting on paper by British artist Ptolemy Mann, created using liquid watercolor pigment, radiant watercolor, and acrylic gouache. Measuring 56 x 76 cm, this work captures the vibrancy of urban light and color through dynamic brushwork and luminous layering. Blocks of saturated coral, fuchsia, and turquoise move across the surface, anchored by sweeping strokes of citrus green and deep teal. The composition is bold yet fluid, evoking a landscape of light in motion. What makes this piece unique is Mann’s exceptional control of water-based media on paper. The pigments are absorbed with softness yet retain clarity, resulting in a painting that feels spontaneous, immediate, and atmospheric. The irregular edges and visible brush marks reveal the intuitive nature of its creation, while the title refers to a visual impression from Japan—one of Mann’s recurring sources of inspiration. The work is in pristine condition. It is executed on heavyweight, high-quality paper with no warping, staining, or damage. Sold unframed, it offers flexibility for presentation while preserving the tactile presence of the paper’s edge. Neon Light (After Japan) belongs to Ptolemy Mann’s ongoing exploration of color as emotional and spatial experience. It is ideal for collectors seeking contemporary abstract art that balances expressive energy with chromatic harmony—an artwork where material, memory, and movement converge in a vibrant whole.
