Distant Peak
Graham Hallett
Dimensions: 85 x 70
Medium: Painting
Description:
Oil on canvas The landscape in Hallett's art is an enduring and potent motif. The theme of the land and the sensation of its presence has been a constant in his practice. His works stem from a unique process that blends observation, sketches and imagination. For Hallett, the forms of the land are shaped by time and the elements - they provide a visual vocabulary to draw upon, to tune and arrange as composition. "All actions and gestures speak their intention. In its focus, painting is a concentration, an accumulation of actions. The freer their execution, the finer the vitality and vibrancy of the work. The completed painting then is an entity, a language of open exchange."
