Spring Reverie by Kathryn Fenton is a surrealist landscape painted in reverence to our environment with the focus on restoration and maintaining these beautiful landscapes.
I often weave this theme into my work these days as I feel an urgency to highlight what we will lose if we keep on this path of overpopulation, industrialisation and corporate greed.
The work is painted in oils in the luscious blues and pinks of the Rococo Era to act as a healing presence within the subject matter.
I use the symbolism of spring flowers and the restorative, hopeful optimism they encapsulate. Painted larger than life, they represent man's insignificance to the role nature plays in our existence, in other words, we need nature more than it needs us.
The classical figures symbolise mythical Greek deities, guardians and nurturers of the natural world depicted in this painting overseeing the arrival of spring in exuberance and revelry.
