After the Cut (2026) Original Oil Painting by Mark Thirlwell

‘After the Cut’ is an oil painting on A4 Aquafine, 300gsm paper. It describes a landscape in flux, where colour, gesture and texture carry as much meaning as the scene itself. A winding, pale path cuts through dense greens and earth tones, suggesting a moment after something has been cleared or opened up in the land. Around it, expressive strokes of blue, violet and orange rise like foliage or distant hills, giving the piece a sense of movement and renewal. The upper section shifts into cooler atmospheric tones, hinting at sky or far-off terrain. The painting balances abstraction with natural rhythm, inviting the viewer to interpret the aftermath of change in the landscape.
