These
pictures were mostly painted on the north of the Island of Santa
Catarina - in Rio Vermelho, Santo Antonio, Ingleses, and Praia Mole
and celebrate nature. But there is also an urban painting from
Trindade and there are paintings from Guarda da Embaú and Tijucas.
All
are plein air, in oils.
The
paintings mark an increase in scale from the previous years work as
shown at BRDE Gallery in Florianoplis last year. They are also
brighter and more colourful, thus responding more fully to Brazil`s
strong light.
However,
they deal with the same subject- the necessary subject of plein air
painting in an age of easy photography- notably, the feeling of being
are in a specific place at a specific time, as opposed to rendering
very specific topographical or botanical details. They are
stylisitically connected to such artists as Eardley and Bonnard.
