'Woven Current' - Sannette Boshoff

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

Medium: Mixed Media on masonite

'Woven Current' is a captivating small-scale exploration of maritime energy and industrial decay, rendered with Sannette Boshoff’s signature tactile complexity. Measuring 15 cm (Height) x 15 cm (Width) on a masonite board, the square composition is dominated by a deep, oceanic blue that transitions into luminous cyan, suggesting the varying depths of a coastal tide.

The focal point of the piece is a dramatic, crescent-shaped application of golden-hued mesh wire, which appears to be caught in a swirling underwater "current". This metallic element is integrated into the heavy impasto surface with gilded highlights that catch the light, contrasting sharply against the cool, stippled textures of the background. The interplay between the rigid, manufactured mesh and the fluid, organic washes of paint creates a rhythmic tension that feels both ancient and contemporary.

Utilising the stability of the masonite substrate, Boshoff layers thick textures alongside delicate glazes to produce a sculpture-like relief in a compact format. The result is a jewel-like work that offers a rich, multi-sensory experience for the viewer, making it an excellent addition to a curated collection of contemporary South African mixed media. Its intimate scale invites close inspection of the intricate details and weathered surfaces that define Boshoff's experimental style.
