LANDSCAPE
Interpretations of the landscape are almost as old as humanity. Its majesty and vastness, its minutiae and its many wonders – people are moved to reproduce it, and have been for thousands of years.
Artists’ translations of the landscape in its infinite forms are unwavering in their appeal; perhaps because of our planet’s constant renewal, our fascination with it renews also. And as the interpretations are just as infinite as the miracles of our surroundings, landscape as subject never tires. Now, at this crucial point in the human-induced climate emergency, an artist’s appreciation of the landscape delivers the essential message: if we love it, we must look after it.
