Chinese LanternsOil painting
by Tarja Laine

£1,861.9

Original artwork description

The painting invites immersion in the colourful elegance of nature. The emphasis lies in the tensions between the warm, orange-coloured Chinese lanterns (physalis alkekengi) in the foreground, the cooler, green colours of the middle ground, and again the warm colour of the evening sky reflected in the water in the background. The effect of this play between different planes, colours, and textures in the painting emphasises its layerdness. For a painter these layers and textures can only become visible by means of close observation, and looking ‘beyond’ the elements in nature, a process embodied in the paintings in which every brushstroke forms a meaningful entity in the emerging whole.
