ABOUT THE ART
In these paintings the landscape as subject is filtered to become a specific kind of landscape veering close to romanticism. They are a redefining of the visual experience of landscape as something emotive and suggestive of sensation. They are landscapes remembered, re-imagined and abstracted. They are the painted surface, texture and value, atmosphere and shifting light.
