Abstracted Landscapes

Abstracted Landscapes explores a new way of looking at landscape.  It departs from my earliest, more representational style that builds iconic Fundy region scenes out of the compilation of numerous small brush strokes, creating intricate details of textures seen at close distances. This series takes a step forward, levels up, and uses simplified shapes and strategic colour combinations to construct (and deconstruct) forest forms, clarifying elements embedded more subtly in my other artworks. In this series, I test the ways in which I recognize natural places visually, blending landscape and abstract genres while manipulating traditional approaches to landscape painting.
