Brian Fahlstrom’s landscapes are captivating in their painterly simplicity. Rendered in the golds and blues of Rennaissance painting, A Blossoming/Distant Impassionedness presents an abstracted breakdown of nature with pastoral undertones. Creating a sense of movement and shifting light through a combination of gestural brushwork and heavy stylised outlines, Fahlstrom portrays his landscape with a fairytale-like drama, derived from the romantic suggestions of Japanese woodcuts, Cubist fields, and contemporary graphic art. |
