Paintings | Landscapes (1998-99)
A selection of paintings seeking to evoke and distil out the experience of landscape and the specific feeling of place.
‘One of the joys of abstracted landscapes is that they combine the highly subjective aesthetic and sensory appeal of pure abstract painting with the emotional appeal of more figurative landscape painting. Here are juxtapositions and gradations of tones to delight the eye, and textures of great subtlety. Here too is a whole world of nature, of hills, mountains, skies, water, trees meadows and, above all, of light.’
