About the Item

This is a painting of a beautiful river in the Sussex landscape where I live, which is under threat due to pollution. The painting embodies my deepest love for this place that I have known and swum in for many, many years. It is a painting about cherishing and protecting our Rivers. 'I paint landscapes which express my somatic, emotional experience of being within the natural world and responding to its power, fragility, and temporality. Essentially, my work is about being in relationship with nature. My painting process involves invention and memory as well as finding inspiration by sketching and taking photographs outdoors before I begin painting in the studio. I work in oils because I love the brilliance and transparency of colour in oil paint. I want my work to convey a passionate sense of connection with the natural world, as a sanctuary for the human spirit.'

Dawn of Metamorphoses

Dawn of Metamorphoses

By HELEN MOUNT

Located in Zofingen, AG

"Dawn of Metamorphoses" captures the transient moment where the calm of the morning sky meets the stirring awakening of the earth. The upper expanse of the canvas envelops us in soft pastel hues that gently blend into one another, forming a symbolic portrait of the dawn carrying the promise of a new beginning. Meanwhile, the lower section of the painting presents a dynamic contrast—streaks of dark, saturated colors remind us of the constant motion and change inherent in nature and human experience. The artist deftly employs a technique of strokes where each brushwork adds narrative and depth, creating a visual dialogue between the soft light and the dark turmoil. Helen Mount...
