Duskier Cries

Oona Ratcliffe's *Duskier Cries* is an acrylic on canvas work that evokes a brooding, atmospheric tension through layered color and expressive mark-making. The painting suggests a liminal space between day and night, where muted tones deepen into shadow and form dissolves into raw emotion. Ratcliffe's brushwork carries a visceral urgency, as though the canvas itself is straining to hold the weight of an unspoken sound.
