Arctic 60n 70w
Creative Rationale
Over the frozen expanse of Baffin Bay west of Greenland, where pack ice meets the harsh Arctic atmosphere, extreme cold creates a crystalline clarity punctuated by bursts of chromatic energy. The high pressure system and gentle winds suggest a moment of relative calm in this polar landscape, while the bitter temperatures and high humidity evoke the ethereal quality of ice formations and aurora-like phenomena. I've translated this into pooling jewel tones that gather at the composition's edges—deep sapphires and arctic blues contrasting with warm magentas and oranges that represent the dramatic temperature anomaly, leaving luminous breathing space in the center like Sam Francis's late works.
