Event Horizon Original Artwork Blue Bronze Cream

Event Horizon is a richly layered abstract artwork from the Time and Space collection by Elizabeth Marshall, designed to evoke the blurred edge where time and space collapse into each other. Swirls of rust, bronze, cream and deep indigo blue flow in undulating waves across the canvas, capturing a moment of movement and stillness all at once.

Created using textured techniques and expressive brushwork, this piece brings a magnetic presence to any space. Its colour palette and composition echo the cosmic and elemental — like the shifting of tides on a distant planet or the edge of a dream. Framed in a clean black profile, it’s ready to hang and make a bold, contemplative statement in your home or office.

Artist Notes - General 

Elizabeth is a Dunedin-based artist, self-taught, and passionate about adding joy to every day, which is expressed through art. Layers of paint and medium are built up over the canvas to create volume and form. This approach gives rise to a sense of movement and life in the work that includes raised surfaces,  dips, slopes, bumps, cracks and lumps. Please zoom in on the images provided to appreciate these aspects of the work. 

In astrophysics, an event horizon marks the boundary beyond which nothing — not even light — can escape. Elizabeth Marshall draws on this concept as a metaphor for emotional thresholds and the unseen forces that shape us. In this piece, she invites viewers to sit at the edge of the unknown, to pause before the pull of change, and to reflect on what we carry with us as we cross into new phases of being.

While the artist attributes meaning to all her artworks, she is keen for the viewer to find their own happiness and meaning in the pattern, colour and texture.

Appreciating textured art is about valuing the beauty in imperfection, perfectly imperfect, organic and irregular. Textured art moves away from traditional art to a tactile experience. Inherent to the design are marks, bumps, lumps, cracks, scrapes, cracks and scourges. It is a thing of beauty, like nature herself. 

For those new to textured art, the raised surfaces create interaction with light and shadow, smooth and rough, while embracing the fluidity of the painted effect and the added element of dimension.

There are several different textures at play in Elizabeth's work. Using different pastes mixed in different ratios, depending on the design. Sometimes the acrylic paint is mixed into the paste, other times it is added after. Sometimes there are embellishments and other materials used in the construction of a piece.
