Created by patiently pouring coloured turpentine on the canvas and left out to the elements, two opposing fields of colour mingle and resist to create a watery landscape.

David Bentley is a landscape artist beginning his practice working in the Tasmanian landscape. His early career was spent responding to wild places through representational, romantic landscapes but he has recently reinvented his art making as an abstract expressionist painter. His most recent body of work delves into an intimate and introspective world of yearning, lost memories and nostalgia. By combining new and traditional techniques of oil painting, David's work tugs and pulls at the viewer's expectations of abstraction and teeters on the precipice between landscape and the representational. It is in this vague in-between where his psychological landscapes provoke the viewer into a state of agitated meditation.
