Falling Upwards III, 2025, oil on canvas, 122 x 91.5 cm

$5,000.00

Falling Upwards III is part of my ongoing Falling Upwards series, which explores spatial indeterminacy as a metaphor for life’s disorienting moments—the ones that unmoor us, confront us, and ultimately invite transformation.

I’m interested in the spaces between falling and rising, where our sense of direction collapses and we must rely on something deeper: intuition, memory, connection, and meaning.

Through intricate, layered mark-making and tonal nuance, I hope to invite the viewer into a contemplative encounter—where ambiguity becomes possibility, and groundlessness becomes generative.

This work, like the series, speaks to the tension between intimacy and ultimacy—the solitary moments that shape us, and the larger arcs of struggle, hope, and renewal.

I aim to hold space for the paradox: that to fall is not failure, but part of the process of becoming.

  • Medium: Oil paint on stretched canvas, ready to hang

  • Location featured in the Painting: Glenbrook Lagoon, Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia

  • Genre: Contemporary Australian Landscape Art, Spiritual Landscape Painting

  • Style: This landscape painting appears to employ a realistic style; however, it is imbued with spiritual and emotive meaning and stories, making it characteristic of the Romantic style of landscape painting.

  • Subject: Reeds along the shore of Glenbrook Lagoon with sky reflections

  • Colour Scheme: Blue (ultramarine, indigo, pthalo, windsor, cobalt), White, Grey, Burnt Umber, Sap Green

  • Features: A large landscape painting with an intricate, engaging composition that suits many styles of home decor, both contemporary and traditional. The colours and forms in this painting are naturalistic yet strong and will complement both a neutral colour scheme and a home with bold wall colours.

How to Install or Hang Your Painting:
This large painting can be hung in most rooms, above furniture or on an open wall, such as in an entryway. As it has areas of both intense and muted colour, it suits a well-lit space in either a traditional or modern home, so that all the subtleties in colour can be appreciated.

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 on stretched canvas of this size and 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.
