This 16"x20" Oils, Acrylics on Canvas painting by Stephen Stocklin features a stark, dramatic composition dominated by deep charcoal-black surrounding a luminous yellow-gold rectangle positioned in the upper center. Within this glowing window-like form, abstract marks in browns, ochres, and touches of coral-red create a sense of movement or presence. A bold diagonal white pathway or beam of light extends from the yellow rectangle down toward the lower left, creating a strong geometric tension against the darkness. Delicate linear marks add subtle detail to the illuminated areas, while the surrounding black field remains deep and impenetrable.
The painting evokes the concept of awakening or discovery—like finding a portal of understanding in the midst of darkness, with light spilling out and showing us the way forward. The white path suggests the journey from revelation to action, reminding us that insight alone isn't enough; we must follow the light it casts, stepping into what it reveals even when surrounded by the unknown.
