Arctic

Creative rationale

Over the North Atlantic between Greenland and Norway, this Arctic location experiences unusually warm conditions with high pressure and moderate winds. The 4.8°C temperature anomaly and high humidity create a dynamic atmospheric state that I've interpreted through Sam Francis's explosive color language - warm saturated pools of cadmium red and yellow burst outward from the edges, driven by the 7.1 m/s wind, while the high pressure at 1023.5 hPa creates dense accumulations of ultramarine blue and viridian green. The luminous white center breathes with the expansive quality of Francis's late compositions, punctuated by energetic splatters that reach inward like atmospheric turbulence.
