Moorland Quiet

By  Mary Bowen 2025

Oil and acrylic on canvas.

Muted tones are used to evoke the sensory qualities of the landscape, both in the micro and macro. Surfaces are built up through painterly layers, creating depth and texture that reference both the memory and the physicality of the terrain.

This painting it part of Bowen's latest body of work, IN THE WILD inviting the viewer to slow down and connect more deeply with the landscape. The paintings encourage a contemplative experience: abstract yet visceral, rooted in processes and elemental forces at work.
