Evening river mist

In the evening when the mist comes to sit on the river the rising full moon announces its arrival in the sky with a beautiful ethereal display of light.
Painted after a trip on a house boat on the River Murray the reflection and the light across the water when one is so remote is unlike anything you will find in the surrounding regions away from the river.
Closer inspection reveals the texture and detail within the dark shadows from the scrub that crowds the rivers edge.
Set in a artist made solid timber floating frame this art piece pops and floats. It is a captivating piece that warrants further inspection.

Christopher J March is a visual and sculptural artist based in the Adelaide Hills on Peramangk country.
Using varied mediums, his work is a contemplation of the world around us. Growing up on a remote farm on Eyre Peninsula, his work in Field Ecology and travel around Australia have found him everywhere from The Gammon Ranges to Lake Eyre, from the Murray to the McArthur, desert to mangrove, from river to oceans – in drought, in flood, in fire.
“I like to envelop myself in the emotion of a landscape; a feeling, a smell, a destination. A view from a different perspective, under water, from a boat, from above, from below, a journey into a horizon. A portal, a reflection, a door way. Earth water and sky.”

Nature inspired art. Sometimes it’s where we have been; a memory. Sometimes it’s where we would like to go; an ideal. Something that evokes a different feeling, emotion or interpretation from each viewer. Chris enjoys exploring contradiction - light with darkness, busy with space, simplicity from a distance and complexity on closer inspection. Enjoy the immersion in considered spontaneity and meticulous mayhem.
