Description

“Shade of Time” is an evocative painting that embodies the passage of history through Marlinski’s signature splash painting technique, which adds a profound sense of depth and tangible texture. The canvas serves as a historical palimpsest, with each layer of texture and color representing a different stratum of time, woven together to narrate a complex tale of the past and perhaps a glimpse into the future.

The topmost layer of the painting is particularly striking, with Marlinski’s technique creating a rich, tactile surface that invites the viewer to reach out and touch time. The splashes and strokes of paint in this uppermost layer are bold and vivid, giving the underlying deep reds and ochres a feeling that seems to leap from the canvas. These colors, applied with a dynamic and almost impulsive energy, bring a freshness and immediacy to the piece, suggesting the ongoing impact of history on the present and beyond.

The tactile qualities of the paintwork are especially pronounced, with the tricky application of the medium creating a relief-like effect that captures light and shadow in a dance across the painting’s surface. This technique results in a piece that is not only visually striking but also physically engaging, blurring the lines between the painting as an image and as a physical object.

“Shade of Time” is a visual exploration of time’s depth and complexity. It reflects the intertwined nature of our past, the convergence of countless lives and stories, and the present reality that arises from this confluence with a wishful perspective to see a beautiful future. The painting is merging visual splendor with tactile richness to create a truly immersive experience while engaging us in a contemplation on the passage of time, inviting the viewer to ponder the shadows cast by bygone eras, the present struggles and experiences, and the light they shed on the path that leads us forward.
