It is a long time since I last posted to my occasional series on Landslides in Art<\/a>.\u00a0 In this edition I have decided to feature three pieces by the Canadian landscape artist Janice Wright<\/a>, who has produced the following three abstract pieces that depict landslides.\u00a0 Janice has a blog<\/a> that explains some of her work.<\/p>\n

The three pieces (all sadly\u00a0 but unsurprisingly sold) are described by the artist\u00a0(referring to the first painting) as follows:<\/p>\n

“This is one in a series of three paintings completed on hot press watercolour paper using a palette knife. Although I generally like to use reference photos when painting, this series I created without my usual ‘road map’.”<\/p>\n

I like them in particular because of the sense of movement that they project.\u00a0 The colours suggest a cold landscape, so in my mind’s eye they are reminiscent of the recent Siachen ice \/ rock avalanche in Pakistan<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The artist has many other paintings that depict landscapes in a range of styles.\u00a0 Some can be interpreted as depicting incipient rockslope failures<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
