Ice Blue 1972

Terry Frost, somewhere in time, made this painting with the colours of a cool summer day—ice blue, orange, and the shadowy depth of black. It’s as if he’s captured a feeling, not just a scene, layering these forms like memories or dreams. I can almost see him in his studio, brush in hand, deciding where each shape should fall. Each decision layering and building something new. I feel like he is in a conversation with Matisse, and Patrick Heron. Look at how the white outline creates space between each form. See how they dance against the ice blue background? It's this kind of thoughtful arrangement that invites us to slow down, to see how colours and shapes can speak to each other, creating something vibrant. It’s like we’re all part of this ongoing dialogue, bouncing ideas off each other, stirring up new ways of seeing and feeling.
