ABOUT THE ARTWORK

COLOUR OF CALM This canvas depicts a awe inspiring mountain scene, captured at the first blush of dawn's fiery arrival. The rich orange and red hues of the imposing mount overshadow the sage sitting in meditation deeply engrossed in his penance presenting a unique three dimensional perspective of the panorama. The canvas brings to fore the immense power of nature in comparison with Man who naively believes that he can control her. The contrast between the unimaginable power of Nature and the frailty of Mankind is further underlined by the pulsating, blazing colours used for the mount while the sage is shown in silhouette. The twin waterfalls, cascading down the rock face in a molten silver torrent temper the ruthlessness of the harsh, unforgiving rock. This painting is done with the Palette knife or Painting Knife method ideal for producing the effect of harsh landscape and craggy mountains with stunning use of strong bold colours and strokes. This method imparts depth and sculptural quality to the scene depicted. The contrast presented by the utterly still, silent mountain and the eternally moving, gushing, lively cascade of the waterfall bring home the myriad moods of Nature in a few artistic strokes. Size: 24x18”. Oil on canvas board. Unframed. New.Signed.
