Hutchinson's monochromatic seas

Daniel Hutchinson's recent show at Angell Gallery, Half-light Over The Baltic Sea, featured a series of seascapes observed when the sun was just below the horizon.  These monochromatic paintings are constantly on the verge of abstraction and disintegration, as the movement of light over the surface plunges areas into deep and endless blackness while bringing other areas into brilliant and reflected light.
