About the Item

Sussex Painting (Flame), 2024 by Ptolemy Mann. 101 x 66 cm. Liquid watercolor pigment, radiant watercolor and acrylic gouache on paper. A bold, atmospheric abstract painting evoking light and terrain. Sussex Painting (Flame) is a striking original work on paper by British artist Ptolemy Mann, created in 2024 using liquid watercolor pigment, radiant watercolor, and acrylic gouache. Measuring 101 x 66 cm, this vertical composition channels the vibrancy of landscape and sky through intensely saturated color fields and flowing brushwork. Rich flame orange, ultramarine, acid green and charcoal tones collide and settle across the surface in gestural verticals, while darker pigment settles downward, anchoring the composition with organic drama. What makes this painting unique is Mann’s ability to evoke both physical terrain and emotional presence using non-representational form. The title suggests a direct connection to the Sussex landscape—a region where Mann often works—infusing the piece with a sense of place and lived memory. The verticality and central cascade of dark pigment contrast beautifully with the horizontal grounding at the base, adding tension and rhythm. Executed on high-grade artist’s paper, the painting is in perfect condition, showing no warping, tears, or discoloration. The edge of the paper is delicately deckled, preserving the integrity and rawness of the process. It is sold unframed, allowing flexibility for framing while preserving the presence of the material surface. This work belongs to a series of paintings that explore natural light, place, and atmosphere through Mann’s refined use of color. It is ideal for collectors who appreciate abstraction that resonates with both personal and environmental narratives—where visual strength meets contemplative stillness.
