Artwork Description

Oil on paper

Signed on the front.

This work is part of a series entitled "Romancing the Landscape" which highlights a romantic and nostalgic approach to my landscape painting and focuses on the significance of location to my family history or to social history and a places “Memories”. This is inspired by a childhood spent in a beach side suburb and focuses on contemplative isolation spent on the rocks at a suburban beach.

This work has a structural drawing underpainting with lyrical paint application in higher layers. This is intended to contrast traditional picture space and emotive subconscious sensory responses to the subject. This seascape is an expressionist interpretation of the solitude I experienced in my youth amongst the  littoral adjoining Sydney beaches and coves which I saw as a refuge from the hurly burly of Sydney life.

All art by Greg Cliffe

This is a romanticised view of wildlife in a natural setting.  I have been focusing in my studio on interpreting experiences from my own life and my ancestors' social histories in utilizing traditional oil painting techniques. I am particularly interested in Baroque, C18th and C19th Realism and Romanticism.  This art interest overlaps with my interest in Ancestral and Social History. Cool colour composition . Atmospheric picture space using aerial perpsective. Wildlife in fringe suburb wilderness. Subjective interpretation of living near wilderness. Intensified emotional response to subject. Exaggerated colour Highly textured linear interpretation of rugged landscape. High contrasting tone and vibrant colour. Expressionistic interpretation of a sense of place. Metaphysical isolation of beach.  Contemplative mood.
