Description
Winged Materiality sits within Glenis Wade’s Dimensional Surface Series, a body of work that investigates how colour, texture and layered materiality create emotional presence in contemporary abstraction. The composition opens outward in wing‑like forms, suggesting expansion, lift and quiet movement. Beneath the chromatic bloom, the surface reveals subtle shifts in temperature — cool greens and violets meeting warmer pinks — creating a dynamic interplay that changes with light and viewing distance.
Wade’s practice draws on post‑minimal materiality and chromatic abstraction, with affinities to Angel Otero, Trudy Benson, Keltie Ferris and Beatriz Milhazes. Her work is grounded in the belief that everyday materials can hold emotional weight, and that dimensional surfaces can shape the atmosphere of a space as powerfully as sculptural objects.
This piece is ideal for collectors interested in emerging material‑abstraction practices, and for curators exploring the intersection of surface, presence and contemporary colourism.
