Title: Saved By The Sun
Artist: Len van Zyl
Year: 2025
Medium: Acrylic on stretched canvas
Dimensions: 61 cm x 91 cm
Saved By The Sun explores how memory and light coexist—how traces of time and presence can be held within colour and surface. Through layered acrylic and subtle textural impressions, I created a luminous field where forms emerge and dissolve, suggesting fragments of memory suspended in radiance.The restrained palette of yellows and soft whites evokes warmth, stillness, and reflection—an atmosphere where light itself becomes a keeper of memory. Embedded symbols and patterns appear like faint recollections, barely perceptible yet quietly enduring. Saved By The Sun is a meditation on impermanence and illumination—the way light preserves what fades and transforms the act of remembering into something timeless.
Saved By The Sun belongs to Contemporary Abstract Expressionism, influenced by Lyrical Abstraction and Minimalist Color Field Painting. Through restrained palette, soft layering, and textural subtlety, it explores the emotional resonance of light, transforming abstraction into a meditation on memory, impermanence, and quiet illumination.
