Original painting in oil on wood.
Comprises of 3 separate panels, so can be hung with spacing between each if preferred.
Coral Churchill’s paintings are thresholds. They enter into relationship with natural form, merging internal and external states into a single, shimmering field.
Prismatic light binds the image like psyche binds memory: fragile, iridescent, precise. The horizon appears again and again - a symbolic line between the known and the unknowable, drawn and redrawn, as if to ask: if I name this edge, will I be safe?
What Coral is doing is alchemical. Taking what is lived and unspoken and re-presenting it in form that the psyche can recognise. Metabolising chaos into coherence.
The work holds a cellular longing for union - a merging instinct, shaped and contained. Each image seems to echoe the moment just before language arrives, when sensation is whole, pattern is meaning, and colour is emotion in its first, unbroken form.
