The Shadow

from $125.00

Every other ship in this series announces itself. A name on the hull, a port of registry, a colour that demands a response. This one withholds.

The hull sits in deep grey and burgundy, colours of the earth more than the sea. The water and mountains seem to follow its lead, settling into the same quiet register, teal and slate layered behind it, the whole painting folding inward rather than opening out. The ship absorbs rather than reflects. No legible name, no single colour that catches the eye and holds it.

It is there, and it will pass, leaving no trace but its own absence.

Part of the Homeward series, eight head-on portraits of the cargo ships woven into Vancouver's harbour, each paired with the landscapes they pass through on their journey.

Available in Two Formats

Resin Wood Panel Each resin piece is hand-poured over an archival print mounted on a natural wood cradle. The high-gloss finish deepens colour, shifts with the light, and gives the work a luminous, almost three-dimensional presence. Non-toxic and VOC-free. Made on demand, finished by hand. Allow approximately one week for completion and shipping.

Canvas Print Each canvas print is produced using lightfast inks on museum-grade canvas, stretched on 1.5" bars and ready to hang. Colour-corrected to remain true to the original painting. Ships within five to seven business days.
