Arctic

Creative rationale

Over the remote Arctic Ocean at 70°N, 20°W, fierce winds of 21.3 m/s from due north create turbulent atmospheric conditions with unusually warm temperatures of 0.1°C and extremely high humidity at 93%. The strong winds drive densely packed calligraphic marks across the entire canvas, while the cold Arctic conditions call for cool blue-black grounds with silvery marks, and the low pressure of 995.7 hPa generates bold, expansive writing gestures that pulse with inner light from the saturated air. The temperature anomaly of 16.4°C above normal introduces subtle warm undertones to an otherwise frigid composition.
