Ben Lucas's "Resonance" immerses viewers in a dreamlike seascape where sky meets water in a symphony of blues. This substantial oil on canvas (104 x 104 cm framed) captures the ethereal quality of coastal light, with delicate wisps of cloud reflected in the tranquil water below. Lucas employs a masterful range of azure and cerulean tones, punctuated by subtle touches of soft pink and golden light along the horizon. The painting's atmospheric depth creates a powerful sense of contemplative stillness, with the lower portion of the canvas dissolving into deeper indigo hues and fleeting glimpses of earthy greens and amber at the very bottom, suggesting the unseen depths beneath the surface.

Atmospheric Depth and Spatial Impact
When displayed, "Resonance" transforms a room with its meditative presence and expansive sense of space. The square format creates a perfect visual balance, allowing the eye to travel freely across the composition while the cool colour palette brings a sense of calm to any environment. Lucas demonstrates his technical virtuosity through layers of translucent paint that capture the ever-changing relationship between sky, light and water. This work exemplifies contemporary landscape painting that moves beyond literal representation into a more emotional and atmospheric interpretation, inviting viewers to pause and experience that profound moment of connection with the natural world.
