Contemporary Art: Imaginary Landscapes @ Nicelle Beauchene Gallery, New York

 

(Drivebycuriosity) - Do you like landscapes? Nicelle Beauchene Gallery in New York`s Lower East Side (327 Broome Street nicellebeauchene) shows works Neil Raitt. The exhibition is called "Fantasy Traveler (through March 13, 2016).

The press release says "influenced by computer games, fractal curves, digital arrangements and linear systems, these quasi panoramas simultaneously emphasize both the individual subject and their inhabited space, driving tensions between real and sublime, analogue and digital, landscape and pattern".

Anyway, I enjoy the fanciful and filigree composition.

Above you  can see "Crimson Winter" (2016, Oil and acrylic on canvas, 40 x 27 inches).

Above: "Mountains at Dusk (Windy Waves Zig-Zag Edit)" (2016, Oil and acrylic on canvas
