In TWO 5, Anne Reid Artist explores the depth of human connection through abstract expressionism. The composition is centered on two silhouetted figures, standing together before an explosion of radiant light and shifting colours. Their presence is both intimate and universal—representing love, partnership, and shared purpose.
The background unfolds in sweeping arcs of warm and cool hues, blending fiery reds and oranges with calming blues and purples. This interplay of colour suggests energy and harmony, evoking themes of unity, change, and the passage of time. The figures, though undefined, are deeply present—rooted in the moment, yet seemingly stepping toward an unseen future.
Light radiates from the space between them, reinforcing the idea that true connection generates its own energy. This glow extends outward, merging into the surrounding atmosphere, symbolizing the transformative power of love and commitment. Whether viewed as a reflection of personal relationships, spiritual unity, or the journey of two souls moving as one, TWO 5 resonates with an undeniable emotional pull.
By stripping away detail and focusing on movement and contrast, Reid invites the viewer to find their own story within the piece. The figures could be lovers, friends, or companions on a shared path—each interpretation adding another layer to the artwork’s meaning.
19 Again, truly I tell you, if two of you agree on earth about anything you ask, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.’
Matthew 18:19-21, NRSV
