'The Azure Ascent' - Sannette Boshoff

Dimensions: 20 x 15 cm (7.9 x 5.9 inches)

Medium: Mixed Media on masonite

'The Azure Ascent' is a small-scale yet high-impact mixed-media study that showcases Sannette Boshoff’s skill in balancing architectural structure with fluid abstraction. Measuring 20 cm (Height) x 15 cm (Width) on a masonite board, the piece is a vertical composition that uses an monochromatic palette of brilliant blues and deep indigos to create a sense of vertical movement and atmospheric depth.

The artwork is defined by a central, diagonal "ascent" featuring a sequence of vertical ridges, achieved through the integration of corrugated elements under layers of thick acrylic. This tactile spine shifts from a deep, velvety violet at the base to a luminous turquoise at the peak, suggesting a climb from shadow into light. The background is a masterclass in scumbled textures, with stippled areas and smooth washes of cyan that give the impression of a misty, ethereal sky or a deep-sea environment.

By utilizing a rigid masonite substrate, Boshoff is able to work the surface aggressively, carving and layering materials to produce a sculpture-like relief. The final result is a jewel-like piece that captures the eye with its vibrant colour and physical complexity. 'The Azure Ascent' is an excellent entry point for collectors looking to add a contemporary, textured work by a South African artist to a smaller wall space or a curated gallery collection.
