About the Item
Sussex Painting (Light Force), 2024 by Ptolemy Mann. 51 x 76 cm. Liquid watercolor pigment, radiant watercolor and acrylic gouache on paper. A powerful abstract composition inspired by landscape and light.
Sussex Painting (Light Force) is an original work on paper by acclaimed British artist Ptolemy Mann, created with a rich blend of liquid watercolor pigment, radiant watercolor, and acrylic gouache. Measuring 51 x 76 cm, this piece unfolds as a vibrant interplay of color and gesture, where saturated hues of ultramarine, crimson, coral, and chartreuse are layered through sweeping vertical and horizontal movements. The result is a visually compelling field of chromatic architecture, where every mark feels both deliberate and intuitive.
This painting is part of Mann’s ongoing Sussex series, in which she draws from the energy and atmosphere of the British landscape—translating terrain, weather, and emotion into pure color. Here, the “light force” is not literal, but perceptual: an impression of illumination carried through color vibration and material fluidity.
Executed on heavyweight archival paper, the artwork is in excellent condition. Its edges are naturally deckled, revealing the raw interaction between pigment and surface. The painting is sold unframed, giving the collector flexibility and preserving the tactile presence of the paper.
What makes this work unique is Mann’s rare ability to combine spontaneity with technical precision. Her painterly process, rooted in decades of textile-based practice, results in compositions that are at once vibrant and meditative. This piece is ideal for collectors seeking abstract works that engage space, emotion, and the senses in equal measure.
Sussex Painting (Light Force) stands as a confident example of contemporary abstraction—a painting that celebrates color not as decoration, but as experience.
