A figure in a heavy dark coat leaps along a beach, caught mid-air with the coat flying out behind. Behind runs a line of white surf, and the strange thing is the colour: Shulman has drenched the whole shore in pink and magenta, with a peach-coloured sky above, so the sand and the wet reflections glow rather than read as any real beach.
The figure is the one dark mass in all that warm colour, and the pose has real spring to it. The Tide is oil on canvas from 2017, a square 80 by 80 centimetres. It catches a single bound of freedom on an open, almost dreamlike coast.
