Jackie Ellens' Global Electric I

A luminous work on paper rendered in watercolor and finished with gold leaf, Jackie Ellens' Global Electric I arrives as a shadowbox composition that gives the piece an architectural depth — drawing the eye inward before releasing it across the painted surface. At thirty-one inches tall and sixteen wide, the proportions are elegantly vertical, suited to the narrow rhythms of a gallery wall or the considered pause between doorways. The gold leaf finish casts a quiet warmth that shifts with the light, ensuring the piece reads differently at every hour of the day.
