Inversion, 2026, oil on board, 50 x 40 cm

$1,600.00

This landscape painting explores reflection, spatial indeterminacy, and the shifting relationship between surface, depth, and atmosphere.

The composition draws the viewer inward and downward through reflection and ambiguity, creating a sense of suspended space and transition. The work suggests both immersion and ascent, evoking the paradoxical movement implied within the series title — that falling contains the possibility of rising.

Built through layered brushwork and tonal variation, the painting reflects an ongoing engagement with the ephemerality of light, memory, and perceptual experience within the landscape.

Medium: Oil paint on panel, ready to hang
Location: Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia
Subject: Reflections of sky, reeds, and a silhouetted tree within water
Palette: Ultramarine blue, white, indigo, burnt umber, raw umber, yellow ochre

How to Install or Hang Your Painting:

The Australian gallery standard recommends hanging a painting so that the mid-point of the artwork (height) is approximately 155 cm from the floor. This may vary depending on ceiling height, interior furniture, or whether it is a space where people will be sitting or standing, such as a living room or dining room. It is advisable to avoid hanging oil paintings in direct sunlight, as UV can damage the pigment, resulting in discolouration.

Framing:
An original oil painting in a contemporary style is often left unframed when installed in art galleries, public or private collections. This work is currently unframed; however, framing can be arranged by agreement. The artwork is ready to hang on Australian gallery standard D-hooks and wire.
