Description:
Antidote to Despair is a serene and contemplative silk print by Angus Collis, delicately rendered in soft blues and framed in natural American white oak. Depicting an expansive cloudscape, this work offers a gentle pause—an invitation to exhale and drift into introspection. Light and atmosphere become the medium through which Collis explores themes of solace, emotional restoration, and the quiet power of nature.

Artist Statement – Angus Collis:
“I often turn to the sky when I need to process what I’m feeling. There’s something healing in the way clouds shift and reshape—impermanent, but always present. This piece is a kind of meditation; a soft place to land.

My work begins with the real—clouds, trees, distant horizons—but it’s never just about what’s in front of me. It becomes about emotion, memory, and a desire to reach something beyond the physical. Antidote to Despair is just that—a moment of stillness in the noise. A quiet conversation with hope.”
