If this piece were to be analysed in isolated sections, inch by inch, it might be difficult to decipher it as natural landscape. To me, it’s an experimentation in colour, with layers of contrasting hues and tones, all clashing and blending in an almost anarchic sense. It feels like a perfect balance of truth and artist’s licence to be able to depict such beautiful scenery with so little colour realism – we are seeing this purely through the mindset of the artist, and how they experienced the natural world at that specific moment in time.
