Alignments II

By Chris Wilson 2016
This painting borrows the textures and strata of the rocky shoreline of the North Antrim coast and transforms a small part of this geology into a much larger universal landscape. The traditional linear landscape perspective is displaced by an aerial perspective, creating a landscape as if viewed from above, and this shift in perspective, while creating a larger sense of landscape, also questions my “sense of place”, of attachment and belonging.
