Artwork Description

Folded Terrain is an abstract composition of interlocking forms, developed intuitively through layers of acrylic paint and drawn lines.

Angular blue and turquoise shapes move across warmer passages of ochre, pink and cream, creating a sense of folding, overlap and changing space. The textured hessian surface remains visible in places, adding another layer of pattern and character to the work.

The forms suggest both landscape and constructed structures, while leaving the interpretation open to the viewer.

Artist Bio

Ted Forbes is a Newcastle-based self-taught abstract artist working primarily in acrylic on hessian and canvas. Beginning his artistic journey after retirement, he creates intuitive paintings that explore the relationship between architecture, landscape and organic form. Influenced by Albert Namatjira, Russell Drysdale, Wassily Kandinsky and Nicolas de Staël, his work has found homes with collectors through Blue Thumb and local exhibitions.
