In Radiance, Brodie explores the themes of connection and landscape through rhythmic geometric and lyrical forms. Muted yellows and terracotta tones envelop the viewer in warmth and light, while translucent circular rims invite reflection on bonds and unity.
Building on ideas from earlier series like Pathways (2016) and The Brightest of Days (2019), where roads served as metaphors for journeys, Radiance delves into the grouping and clustering of trees. These forms appear familiar, but on closer inspection, they reveal themselves as simple flat shapes. Blocks of colour disrupt traditional notions of depth and space, with just one visible tree trunk in many works, sparking curiosity and introspection.
Each work is meticulously rendered in matte vinyl, its smooth, precise surface reflecting a deliberate formalism. Tonal contrasts provide clarity, creating a subtle optical “bounce” that unifies the composition into a cohesive visual experience.
Brodie’s measured yet instinctive approach imbues each piece with a sense of
calm, transforming chaotic scenes into soothing oases.
