Lake palm and topiary

The practice of clipping hedges to shape is a very old art dating back over centuries. There are examples on display in many home gardens and magnificent arrays on complex estate landscapes. This trimmed bush is competing against the natural wild shape of the palm.

The painting has a deep profile edge of 2.4 cm and is varnished with coats of polymer satin and a final solvent varnish for protection. It is ready to hang with D-ring hangers stretched with plastic coated wire.

This art explores colour, form, pattern and figuration and recompose the shapes and shadows of nature and the built environment. It is based on realism with a distortion factor, canvassing aspects of the ordinary and the extraordinary and evoking a sense of the social dynamics and psychological layers of identity and place.
