Original artwork description
Black Pastel on Paper, 2012
22" x 28"
In Shore Shadows, David Kofton captures the rugged, elemental beauty of the Maine shoreline with striking depth and atmosphere. A dense tangle of roots, weathered stones, and darkened forest edge creates a powerful composition where land and sea meet in quiet tension. The piece evokes the timeless, untamed character of the coast — a place shaped by erosion, endurance, and the passing of seasons.
Rendered in black pastel on paper, Kofton uses dramatic contrast, layered texture, and expressive mark-making to build a landscape rich with shadow and mystery. The interplay of light against stone and root reveals his keen eye for structure and his ability to find beauty in raw, natural forms.
Created in 2012, Shore Shadows reflects Kofton’s deep connection to the coastal landscapes of Deer Isle, Maine, where he lived and worked for decades. More than a landscape, this piece is a meditation on permanence, solitude, and the hidden life within shadow.
A compelling original for collectors of landscape art, monochromatic work, and expressive contemporary drawing.
