Catherine Sargeant's "Sea Circle - Rhythm" draws viewers into a mesmerising aquatic realm through its circular composition and fluid colour palette. This intimate mixed media work, measuring just 17 cm in diameter, combines oil, gloss and pigments on plywood to create a luminous underwater world of deep blues and ethereal greens. The word "rhythm" appears to float within the composition, partially submerged in the swirling blues and seafoam greens that evoke the constant motion of ocean currents. Sargeant's masterful layering technique creates depth and translucency, mimicking the way light penetrates water, with glossy elements catching the light to suggest the reflective quality of a water's surface.

A Circular Window to the Sea
Displayed on a wall, this round artwork creates a portal-like effect, as though offering a glimpse into the depths of the ocean. The circular format breaks away from traditional rectangular framing, allowing the piece to function as both artwork and object. When hung, "Sea Circle - Rhythm" creates a focal point that draws the eye through its swirling patterns and mysterious depths, bringing a sense of movement and tranquility to any space. The intimate scale invites closer inspection, rewarding the viewer with subtle details and textural elements that might be missed at first glance, creating an ongoing dialogue between the artwork and its observer.
