As an art collector, I’m constantly searching for works that feel both immediate and enduring—pieces that hold their own in a contemporary collection while still offering emotional resonance. Ever Increasing Dance III by Caroline Boff does exactly that.**

From the moment I encountered it, I was struck by its unapologetic brightness. The palette is alive—radiant, confident, and deliberately celebratory. The vivid green feels almost electric, pushing forward with a sense of growth and renewal, while the familiar blue dancers provide a visual anchor. That blue is not passive; it pulses against the green, creating a dynamic dialogue between expansion and cohesion.

What fascinates me most is the structure: five distinctive circles, each containing dancers that seem at once individual and collective. The repetition across these circles creates rhythm—almost musical in its cadence—yet no single circle feels static. There’s a sense of momentum, of choreography unfolding across the canvas. The circular formations suggest continuity, community, and cycles of movement, reinforcing the idea of an “ever increasing” dance. The eye travels from one ring to the next, caught in a perpetual flow.

As a contemporary piece, it feels entirely of its moment. It embraces bold colour without hesitation and celebrates pattern and repetition in a way that feels both graphic and emotive. There’s an optimism embedded in the work—something generous and inclusive. It doesn’t withdraw; it invites.

In a collection, Ever Increasing Dance III operates as both focal point and atmosphere-setter. Its brightness lifts a space, while its conceptual layering rewards sustained viewing. It is a work that speaks to connectivity and shared energy—an artwork that dances not only within its five circles, but outward into the room and into the viewer’s own sense of movement and belonging.
