A Slice in Time 

Paul du Toit created 'A Slice in Time' using bold colors, simple shapes and playful lines against a vibrant blue background. The composition is dynamic, with geometric forms seemingly suspended in space. This arrangement evokes a sense of lightness and movement, reminiscent of mobile sculptures. Du Toit’s use of primary colors—red, yellow, and blue—along with white and black, creates a visually stimulating effect, inviting the viewer to explore the relationships between the shapes. The black lines act as connectors, unifying the disparate elements and creating a cohesive whole. The forms are not fixed but appear to float. The painting's title, 'A Slice in Time', suggests an exploration of temporality. The abstract shapes might represent fleeting moments or fragmented memories, captured and preserved on the canvas. The bright colours and whimsical composition offer an optimistic perspective on the passage of time. Consider how this interplay of form and color transcends mere aesthetics, inviting a deeper contemplation on existence.
