Ice Shard, Sculptural Watercolour® by Prue Bishop, 70 x 70 x 5.5 cm, G02, 2023
A lone ice shard drifts in the deep blue Arctic waters—a fractured remnant of a once-massive iceberg. This striking Sculptural Watercolour® captures the fragility and impermanence of ice formations as they splinter and dissolve, an ever-accelerating process due to rising global temperatures. The unique sculptural depth of the artwork enhances the dramatic contrast between the smooth ice and the fluidity of the ocean.
🌊 A Moment of Transformation
Each year, polar ice sheets lose billions of tonnes of ice, reshaping coastlines and altering marine ecosystems. The splintered shapes in this painting echo the real-world disintegration of glaciers, where warming waters and shifting currents break ice into ever-smaller fragments before they vanish entirely.
