Catherine Sargeant's "Sea Circle - Yakamoz" presents a mesmerising exploration of light and water through mixed media techniques. This circular composition, 20 cm in diameter, combines oil, gloss and pigments on aluminium to create a dreamlike aquatic atmosphere dominated by serene pale blues, seafoam greens and soft whites. The word "yakamoz"—a Turkish term describing moonlight reflecting on water—appears partially visible within the composition, floating through the artwork like text glimpsed beneath the surface. Sargeant masterfully exploits the reflective quality of the aluminium substrate, allowing the metallic surface to interact with the translucent layers of paint and create a subtle luminosity that shifts with changing light conditions.
Circular Art and Maritime Reflections
The perfect circular format of this piece creates a porthole-like viewing experience, inviting the viewer to peer into an intimate underwater world. When displayed on a wall, "Sea Circle - Yakamoz" creates a focal point that draws the eye with its subtle tonal variations and reflective qualities. The aluminium support enhances the maritime theme, its cool metallic surface complementing the watery palette and creating delicate light effects that transform throughout the day. This contemplative piece brings a sense of tranquillity and depth to any space, offering a moment of pause and reflection—a small but powerful reminder of water's endless capacity to captivate our imagination.
