Oil on canvas
In this compelling oil on canvas, Suthamma Ta Byrne explores perception, identity, and artistic creation through a striking, semi-abstract portrait. A single, central eye — segmented in bands of vivid colour — becomes both observer and observed, framed by bold geometric planes and sculptural forms. The presence of a lit match and a faceted red vessel introduces a quiet tension: creation, destruction, and transformation coexist within the same intimate space.
Byrne’s confident use of primary colour, strong contour lines, and flattened perspective evokes echoes of early modernist language while remaining distinctly contemporary. The composition balances control and spontaneity — the circular eye contrasting with angular forms, the dark hat anchoring the vibrant chromatic energy below.
Exhibited at MASA-UK Art Gallery, this original work represents a powerful example of Byrne’s evolving visual vocabulary. It invites sustained viewing, rewarding collectors who are drawn to symbolism, narrative ambiguity, and bold formal structure.
A singular original, available for acquisition.
