Wave Study I – Abstract Ocean-Inspired Dot Artwork

This piece is SOLD and found it's forever home in Brisbane, but you can still commission something very similar. ‘Wave Study I’ is the first in Jennifer Bell’s contemplative series exploring the movement and emotion of the ocean through abstract mark-making. In this piece, soft ripples of white dots drift gently across layered shades of blue, evoking the quiet rhythm of waves and the shimmer of light on water.

Subtle yet expressive, this artwork captures the meditative quality of watching water shift and flow. The use of repeated dot work creates a tranquil, visual rhythm — a hallmark of Jennifer’s style — while the soft tonal layering adds depth and calm. Inspired by her personal experience with visual snow, the series translates perceptual patterns into delicate, nature-inspired forms.

As with each piece in the “Wave Study” series, ‘Wave Study I’ invites the viewer to pause, reflect, and reconnect with natural elements. The simplicity of materials paired with intricate execution makes it an ideal work for collectors who value both minimalism and emotional resonance.

Created on 100% post-consumer recycled paper using acrylic and ink, this original piece reflects a conscious, sustainable approach to artmaking.
