The Space Between, 40 x 52, Landscape, Oil Painting

2024

About the Item

Robin Cole's original oil painting, 'The Space Between', is an evocative exploration of ethereal landscapes, rendered on a grand scale of 40 x 52 inches. Crafted with meticulous attention in 2024, this artwork delves into the subtle gradations of light and shadow, masterfully presented on a high-quality panel. The framed dimensions measure an imposing 43.50 x 55.50 inches, complementing the painting's serene presence. The piece resonates with Cole's signature contemplative style, inviting viewers into a liminal space that bridges the tangible and the imagined. This piece is available for purchase, offering collectors the chance to own a significant work from a contemporary artist whose pieces are known to evoke deep emotional responses and spark thoughtful introspection." Artist Statement 'The Space Between' I am not sure there’s anything quite as elusive as attempting to paint a meditative state. When that meditative state is one achieved during childbirth, and the painting is one you intend to share publicly, the challenge becomes quite formidable. It’s probably impossible, but I persisted. This piece has taken several forms before this one. It is, at the very least, an interior landscape and my best approximation in pigment of an experience that utterly defies description, verbal or visual. The space I inhabited was a timeless, opalescent cradle of existence that held me, mind, body, and soul. There were a few hours when my son was making his way into the world when the veil parted, allowing me into a realm where my body became at once everything and nothing. I floated in a limitless ocean of strength and experience, not mine, but borrowed from eons of women before me. Surprisingly long-feeling stretches of time elapsed between contractions in a sort of timeless nowhere that offered such deep rest. This space sheltered and comforted and encouraged me, and I made way for little Ansel to join us here on Earth. I have painted it as a landscape in hopes that it feels familiar, that it might speak to everyone’s experience of peace, or primitive sources of strength, or the comforting arms of the Mother. The mirrored light—with its sense of yet more space and light beyond—reminds us “as above, so below.” Every story is a little spark of the Great Story, flickering briefly within the margins of a single life. - Robin Cole
