Artwork Description

‘Reach’ continues my journey exploring the dynamic interplay between realism and abstraction in a harmonious composition. Inherently juxtaposed forms of traditional painting styles, the work is unexpectedly balanced. Each of the pieces in this body of work invites the viewer to find comfort in the realistically-painted familiar flora, whilst taking the viewer into realms of their imagination with the abstract elements that surround. The viewer is encouraged to contemplate and embrace the harmony between the unknown and the familiar, the tangible and the intangible.
