'Light in the Shadow' - Sannette Boshoff

Dimensions: 30 x 45 cm (11.8 x 17.7 inches)

Medium: Mixed Media on canvas

'Light in the Shadow' is a profound mixed-media work by Sannette Boshoff that explores themes of hope and faith through bold abstraction. This piece, measuring 30 cm (Height) x 45 cm (Width), features a prominent, textured cross that serves as the central focal point, rendered with a striking balance of raw earth tones and vibrant colour.

The composition is divided by a high-contrast vertical axis, where a deep black void on the left meets a weathered, neutral ground on the right. The cross itself is executed in a vivid turquoise, built up with heavy impasto and accented with shimmering gold leaf or metallic paint. These textures create a physical presence on the canvas, suggesting a light that is not merely painted, but physically emerging from the surrounding darkness.

Boshoff’s use of mixed media allows for a complex layering of washes and drips on the right-hand side, evoking the appearance of aged stone or a parchment-like surface. The interplay between the structured geometry of the cross and the fluid, organic movement of the background makes 'Light in the Shadow' a compelling contemplative piece, suitable for collectors looking for art with deep spiritual or emotional resonance.
