Captivity 2, print is a striking piece within Anne Reid Artist’s abstract expressionist body of work, embodying themes of control, erosion, and the passage of time. The artwork’s layered composition suggests an interplay between rigid structure and organic decay, where geometric elements, reminiscent of barriers or fragmented letters, seem to either emerge from or dissolve into an atmospheric void.

The muted palette—dominated by shades of white, grey, and black—creates a sense of isolation and constraint. The contrast between opacity and transparency, solid forms and eroded textures, enhances the sense of liminality, as if the viewer is caught between presence and absence, order and chaos. The upper portion of the painting carries the stark imposition of angular shapes, while the lower section fades into shadow, reinforcing the idea of captivity not just as physical imprisonment, but as a state of mind or spiritual struggle.

This print resonates deeply with those drawn to conceptual depth in art. It invites reflection on personal, societal, or historical forms of captivity—whether through imposed structures, inner limitations, or the weight of time itself. The visual language of Captivity echoes themes of resilience, deconstruction, and the cyclical nature of breaking free.

Collectors drawn to Anne’s prophetic abstract expressionism will recognize familiar hallmarks here: intentional brushwork, nuanced layering, and an interplay of seen and unseen elements. Pair Captivity 2 with companion works like David & Samuel 4 for a curated gallery wall that blends historical depth with contemporary form.
