LANDSCAPE

One of the earliest art forms, landscape has been used throughout the ages to capture, depict and communicate the natural world. The genre of landscape has shifted away from scenery painted to decorate the interior to an increasingly politicised subject matter created to provoke and question the human condition and our surrounding environment. The natural world depicted within the works included in LANDSCAPE are not simply vistas to be admired but works to be contemplated – loaded with meaning and grounded within place. The artists in LANDSCAPE all reference the formal properties of a timeless tradition, however each artist has their own conceptual framework and drive behind their work.
