In Kathryn Ryan's work, landscapes take on a sensuous resonance. Set in the space between night and day, her scenes are at once bold and subtle - evoking the suggestive poetry of the land. Here, she traces the smokey silhouette of trees at dusk.
The work is expansive, filling the viewer's field of vision. Just as Claude Monet's waterlilies transported their beholder to the water's edge, Ryan's 'From Back Roads' invites you for a long walk in the paddock, suffused by the dregs of terror twilight. This is a truly transformative aesthetic experience.
