This week's Work of the Week is 'Last Light' from Laurie Smith's exhibition 'In the absence of light' The work is executed in ink, and 24ct Gold leaf on wallpaper (W102cm x H49cm).
The work epitomizes the essence of this exhibition, which is centered around the sea at night. There is a strong, yet hazy sense of walking along a deserted beach as the sun has faded and night descends. The gold leaf is used minimally, just enough to enhance the early evening feel. The drawing method, done on wallpaper, creates a very textural and moody feel to the work.
