Night Walks, San Francisco II by Claire Smith

Claires’ work is inspired by light and colour on the landscape, and the abstract qualities they create. Her work places the viewer in a dreamlike landscape of pure light, texture and shapes. A space to breath.

The juxtaposition between the sky and the foreground is a regular feature, prompting a sense of calm contemplation.  Presenting the viewer with familiar scenes from distinct perspectives, Claire’s work explores the familiar with a sense of novelty.

Claire says:

“Employing layers of colour I want to recreate the interplay between the landscape, light and seasons, bringing the illusion of depth to the two-dimensional surface.”
