This 16"x20" Oils, Acrylics on Canvas painting by Stephen Stocklin features a dynamic vertical composition divided between a densely worked left side and an ethereal pink-washed right side. Bold charcoal-black brushstrokes create an irregular column down the left and center, interwoven with olive-gray tones, muted yellows, and touches of deep blue. White calligraphic marks and gestural loops dance across the surface, while a small red accent appears in the upper left corner. The right portion dissolves into soft pink and white, creating a luminous counterpoint to the darker, more active left side.
The painting evokes the border between shadow and light within us—the dense, complex accumulation of doubt, struggle, and depth on one side, and the quiet grace of release and tenderness on the other. The white linear marks suggest the threads of thought that connect these two states, reminding us that darkness and lightness are not separate territories but continuous aspects of a single journey.
