'Harmonic Distortion' - Sannette Boshoff

Dimensions: 51 x 40 cm (15.7 x 20.1 inches)

Medium: Mixed Media on canvas panel

'Harmonic Distortion' is an intricate mixed-media composition that masterfully blends auditory themes with a vibrant, semi-abstract visual language. Measuring 51 cm (Height) x 40 cm (Width) on canvas panel, this vertical artwork is a complex arrangement of overlapping geometric forms, organic washes, and collaged fragments. A dominant, scorched-orange circular form serves as the primary focal point, balanced by a luminous mint-green mandalic disc that adds a sense of rhythmic symmetry to the upper quadrant.

The piece is a testament to Boshoff’s experimental use of found materials, featuring torn sheet music and textured newsprint that emerge from beneath layers of atmospheric turquoise and indigo glazes. A central vertical strip of corrugated cardboard adds a sharp industrial texture, echoing the title’s suggestion of mechanical or acoustic "distortion". Delicate, hand-drawn lines—including a ghostly outline of a guitar and fluid, swirling contours—weave through the various layers, connecting the physical materials with an ethereal sense of movement.

By combining heavy impasto with watery, translucent glazes, Boshoff achieves a sophisticated depth that encourages the viewer to deconstruct each hidden detail. The final result is a multi-sensory experience that feels both nostalgic and distinctly contemporary. 'Harmonic Distortion' is a standout choice for collectors who appreciate fine art that successfully bridges the gap between different creative disciplines, offering a rich narrative within a polished, modern aesthetic.
