"The pictorial features of the hill, the river, the trees do not interest the painter. The intention in these vast panoramas is to arrive at the fundamentals of nature. He seems interested in the total rhythm which moves and animates the universe. The streak of a blood-red river moves across a brown mountainside. Tress stand row upon row, in tones of reds, blues, greens and browns. The shimmering quality of white light flows through a valley, creating a feeling as though the whole earth moves with light." The use of a bold palette, and the importance the artist places on texture and construction, complements his choice of landscape as subject, their earthy tones heightened with swathes of vibrant red and blue. The colours evoke a sense of movement in an unmoving space; one without any specific chronology or geography. Speaking about his palette, the artist states, “colours expand and contract, colours travel on the surface of the static painting colour trajectory is strategy A colourist needs to master the art of silencing some colours, so as to render others eloquent.”
