One Red One Yellow, Butterflies

South African-born expressionist Lorna Marsh explored beauty, vulnerability, and impermanence through an expressive visual language that was uniquely her own. In One Red, One Yellow, Butterflies, delicate butterfly forms emerge through layers of expressive color and controlled paint drippings, creating a compelling meditation on the fragility of nature and its exposure to forces beyond its control.

Marsh was celebrated for her distinctive technique, particularly her innovative use of paint drippings. Far from being incidental, each drip was deliberately controlled, becoming an integral part of the composition and adding movement, dimension, and texture to her work.
