Aria

Part of a collection titled Ékstasis, this vibrant and moving limited edition artwork by Emma-Leone Palmer was created during lockdown. Bespoke mounted and framed in glossy black pine, the powerful movements and electric colours of the piece symbolise a range of meanings and feelings; from a bold release of energy in quiet, frustrated isolation, to memories full of friends, music, and total ecstasy.  

Titled after the Greek word for 'ecstasy', Ékstasis is defined as a union with the divine or, the experience of an inner god. Evoking feelings of power, independence, passion and peace, this set of two artworks will represent different experiences to every viewer. To the artist, one of the many meanings of these pieces is the feeling of listening to music with your friends in the kitchen, 'somewhere in the singing and dancing you forget yourself and are somewhere in a perfect realm, a rapture.'
