Awakenings at Bronte Bogey Hole

Rachel Rae, Awakenings at Bronte Bogey Hole, acrylic on canvas

In this work, Rae specifically focuses on the deep relationship between light and shadow, depicted at sunset. The slight abstraction reveals the artist’s direct hand, each brushstroke balancing between the stark highlights and its warm undertones. The sun draws the audience in further, its brightness reflected in the rolling waves and ochre tones of the rocks which watch swimmers enjoy the Bogey Hole.
