About the Item

“Daylight Shadow” captures the moment where illumination meets resistance — a study in duality rendered through gesture, motion, and restraint. The work embodies the paradox of contrast: the clarity of daylight entangled with the mystery of shadow. In this monochrome composition, black and white are not opposites but collaborators, shaping one another through rhythm, tension, and balance. The result is an image that feels alive — at once explosive and contained, immediate yet timeless. Michelle Thomas channels atmosphere through abstraction, allowing light itself to become the subject. Sweeping arcs and splintered forms move across the canvas like echoes of motion frozen in time, suggesting both the presence of form and its dissolution. The artist’s brushwork feels improvisational yet deeply intentional — a dialogue between the deliberate and the instinctive, where each mark carries the trace of movement and stillness intertwined. “Daylight Shadow” speaks in the language of gesture, its contrasts serving as metaphors for perception, emotion, and impermanence. Through its stark palette, the work reveals an unexpected warmth — a sense of quiet humanity within its precision. What first appears as bold and graphic gradually unfolds into a meditation on nuance: the soft transitions between opacity and light, the textured surface that recalls both fabric and atmosphere. The image is less a depiction than an encounter, inviting the viewer to find meaning within ambiguity, to sense depth within the absence of color. It evokes the pulse of a thought just before it takes shape — an impression of motion suspended in the instant before stillness. Each work is a fine art giclée print, created by the artist using an Epson SureColor P700 with Epson UltraChrome PRO10 archival pigment inks on museum-grade rag watercolor paper. This process achieves exceptional tonal range and fidelity, capturing every velvety black, every soft gradation, and every trace of the artist’s gesture with remarkable precision. The archival materials ensure permanence and stability, allowing each print to preserve its striking contrast and depth for generations. To complement its rich palette, each print is mounted in a museum-quality archival mat and backing board, cut to create three inches of white space on all sides, offering a visual balance that allows the color to radiate fully. The image size is 18 × 18 inches, with an overall matted dimension of 24 × 24 inches, designed to fit standard frames while maintaining a bold, gallery-level presence. Every print is individually produced, inspected, and signed by the artist, then carefully packaged and shipped flat with archival protection. Offered as an open edition, “Daylight Shadow” invites collectors to experience the quiet power of minimalism — where movement and form, absence and presence, converge into a singular expression of balance. The work stands as a meditation on perception itself: how light gives meaning to shadow, and how, within contrast, clarity is born. Available in additional sizes - please see description below! Video is of 8" x 10" version.
