In Light Blue Infinity, a calm, expansive field of light blue fills the canvas, inviting the viewer into a seemingly endless space of tranquility. The nuanced texture of the surface, achieved through Thompson’s meticulous layering, lends a depth to the blue, evoking the boundless quality of a serene sky or an open sea. This minimalist composition draws parallels to Yves Klein’s monochromatic explorations, yet Thompson’s approach is softer, with a tactile quality that feels more grounded in nature than in pure abstraction.
The soft edges that subtly darken around the borders create a sense of containment while allowing the central blue to radiate, giving the piece a contemplative quality. This field of blue is not static but dynamic, with slight tonal shifts that mimic the ebb and flow of natural light across a wide horizon. Light Blue Infinity becomes a meditative space, encouraging viewers to lose themselves in its quiet, infinite depth, offering a peaceful respite within its simplicity.
