Late Thursday, 2024, oil on canvas, 152 x 115 cm

$4,900.00

This contemporary landscape painting explores atmosphere, scale, and the perceptual tension between immersion and distance. The work draws on the traditions of Romantic landscape painting, where landscape becomes a site of contemplation and emotional intensity.

The large vertical composition relates closely to the scale of the human body, intensifying the viewer’s encounter with the towering cloud formation and darkened horizon below. Passages within the work create a sense of spatial uncertainty and inward movement, as though the atmosphere itself opens into immeasurable depth.

Built through layered gestural brushwork and tonal variation, the painting shifts between material surface and illusionistic space. The work explores the apprehension of the ineffable through landscape, where light, scale, and atmosphere evoke an experience that resists fixed meaning or orientation.

Medium: Oil paint on stretched canvas, ready to hang
Location: Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia
Palette: Ultramarine blue, indigo, phthalo blue, Winsor blue, yellow, warm and cool greys, burnt umber, viridian, black

How to Install or Hang Your Painting:
Unlike many landscape paintings, the vertical format makes this artwork suitable for large walls or rooms with unusually high ceilings, such as a foyer or entryway in a modern home or office. 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.
