Landscape Painting 12 by Angus Gardner

Size (cm): 124 x 83.5
Oil & pencil on linen, aluminium frame
A trip last year to the Northern Territory allowed me to experience an environment that was very different to those that have informed recent bodies of work. Familiar ideas of colour, light and movement were at the forefront of my thinking whilst walking in the landscape. However, it was the enormity of the spatial environment, both physically and psychologically, which demanded my attention. Ideas of scale and expanse transcended my drawings made in the landscape and developed into a series of oil paintings. ‘Landscape Painting 12’ was one of these works.
