The Abstracted Landscapes Series

A playground to experiment with various textural techniques, these imagined abstract and semi-abstract landscapes are inspired, in part, by temperature and the climate crisis. Some have a post-apocalyptic feel, offering a look at a future we might have. Some function as a snapshot of our diminishing ancient, wild landscapes, taking inspiration from protected parts of North Yorkshire. They are also an outlet for my love of folklore.

A small piece of art called Under Ice, oil painting on wood panel, by the artist Charley Hellier. This is predominantly blue in palette, with black and white providing tonal variety. It is an atmospheric, ethereal piece of art, an abstract artwork showing sky and a river and frozen shapes of a landscape.

Day's End, a large oil on wood panel painting, in a rich, warm palette. A burning sky, with lots of yellow, red and foreboding grey is reflected in the water of a swamp. Around the mire is lots of rich green foliage - it is lush and fertile. In this imagined, abstract landscape artwork, a tree stands on the right in the foreground. Other trees are hinted at, blending into the misty distance. Jagged texture in black and white draw focus to the foreground. Reeds and plants stick up through the water.
