Danielle O'Connor Akiyama
Rarefield Vision
Original oil painting

Danielle O'Connor Akiyama works in oil with a commitment to the medium that is increasingly rare in contemporary painting. Her surfaces are built slowly — layer upon layer, each passage of paint allowed to dry before the next is applied — producing a depth and luminosity that cannot be achieved quickly and cannot be faked. The result is painting that rewards sustained looking, that changes as light moves across it, that holds its own in any context.

Rarefield Vision takes its subject from the liminal spaces between states — the moments of transition and transformation that O'Connor Akiyama returns to throughout her practice. The palette is characteristically ethereal: colours that suggest atmosphere rather than object, light rather than surface. The composition draws the eye to a centre that is not so much a point as a quality — a concentrated intensity that radiates outward through the picture plane.

Available exclusively through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors across Berkshire, Surrey, and London.
