'Layered Song' - Sannette Boshoff

Dimensions: 21 x 15 cm (8.3 x 5.9 inches)

Medium: Mixed Media on canvas panel

'Layered Song' is a delicate yet vibrant mixed-media work that explores the intersection of music, literature, and visual abstraction. Set against a rich, atmospheric background of magenta and deep violet washes, the piece features a central collage element composed of weathered fragments of sheet music and aged newsprint. These tactile layers are partially veiled by translucent glazes, creating a sense of history and a "buried" melody that resonates through the colour palette.

Measuring 21 cm (Height) x 15 cm (Width) on canvas panel, this vertical study exemplifies Boshoff’s signature use of texture and found materials. The fluid, organic application of paint contrasts sharply with the linear structure of the torn paper and the rigid canvas substrate. Upon closer inspection, subtle pencil marks and textured ridges weave through the composition, inviting the viewer to engage with the artwork's intricate, multi-dimensional surface.

The piece functions as a visual poem, capturing a moment where sound and sight converge into a singular aesthetic experience. Its compact size makes it an ideal addition to an intimate gallery space or as part of a curated collection of contemporary South African mixed media. Ultimately, 'Layered Song' stands as a testament to Boshoff's ability to transform everyday fragments into a cohesive and emotionally resonant narrative.
