Sculptural Watercolour® by Prue Bishop, 2018, 60x50x6cm. F13

🧊 A Hidden World Beneath the Ice

This Sculptural Watercolour® transports us into the subterranean beauty of a glacier, revealing the fragile, crystalline splendor of melting ice formations. Inspired by the Ecrins Mountains in France, this artwork captures the delicate interplay of light, shadow, and texture deep within an icy cavern.

💎 Sculpted by Nature, Interpreted by Art

• Dramatic, elongated icicles cascade from above, their sculptural depth enhanced by rich tonal contrasts in gray and black, evoking the stillness of frozen formations.
• The background glows with teal and aquamarine washes, mirroring the ethereal play of light within glacial depths.
• The fusion of soft, fluid watercolor with sharp, sculpted layers creates a mesmerizing illusion of depth, immersing the viewer in this hidden, icy sanctuary.

🌍 A Reflection on Glacial Ice Loss

Glaciers, which have shaped landscapes for millennia, are now melting at an alarming rate. This painting invites contemplation of their ephemeral beauty while subtly underscoring the urgency of preserving these fragile ecosystems.

🎨 Prue Bishop’s Mastery of the Sculptural Watercolour® Technique

Using innovative layering techniques, Prue Bishop blurs the line between two-dimensional painting and three-dimensional sculpture, making the icicles appear almost tangible. This work is a tribute to the hidden wonders of glacial formations, capturing the fleeting elegance of melting ice in transition.
