Oil and acrylic on board
30”x30”

Thermal Depths melds oil and acrylic on a 30”x30” board to manifest a visual odyssey from the fiery core of the earth to the icy expanses of the ocean. The piece is anchored by rich, deep blues and purples that suggest the cold, mysterious depths of the sea, swirling into lighter hues as they ascend, like rising thermal currents meeting the water's surface. This aquatic journey is disrupted by intense patches of red and burnt sienna, evocative of geothermal heat and molten lava, creating pockets of warmth in the cool oceanic expanse. Tanner's composition invites the viewer to dive into the contrasts of temperature and texture, exploring the natural fusion of elemental forces.
