Oil on canvas
This canvas captures the essence of England- a land where ancient, peaceful green valleys meet the sharp geometry of its bustling, modern heart. The array of soft undulating bands of color represent the fertile, rolling hills and fields characteristic of the English landscape. Slashing across the organic landscape is a large imposing and tilted black triangle. The interior of the triangle reveals a section of London’s urban landscape, not as a detailed, realistic depiction of, but as an abstract view. It acts as a lens that suggests that the dynamic and dense modern reality of the city of London is the focused core of the country’s contemporary identity, even when surrounded by the vastness of its green history.
