About Sky Light

The artwork, entitled “Sky Light,” created by the artist Alma Woodsey Thomas in 1973, is a striking representation within the Color Field Painting movement. This abstract genre piece typifies the artist’s unique approach to color and form.

The artwork features a dense pattern of small, fragmented shapes interlocking to form a larger, cohesive whole. Predominantly rendered in various shades of blue, the piece evokes the sensation of gazing up at the sky filtered through a canopy of leaves or fragmented light. The rhythmic arrangement of shapes creates a sense of infinite depth and movement, inviting the viewer to lose themselves in the tranquil yet dynamic visual experience. The interplay of the crisp blue hues and the subtle, almost imperceptible variations in tone contribute to the overall impression of serenity and expansiveness, characteristic of Thomas’s distinguished style.
