Stephen Lennon aims to convey a sense of place, not only the physical dimension
but also a feeling of space and clear air between the viewer and
the subject. He conveys the natural harmony of shape and colour
of the landscape, using the transparency of watercolour, often mixing
it with other opaque media to achieve the effect he seeks
He represents topographical features as simply
as possible, often using map like shapes and lines to simplify the
natural features into the essential elements needed to capture the
spirit of the place as it is on the day, and in the weather and
light of the moment.
This quest, which goes back to childhood, he shares with many of
the artists he has admired over the years, the English romantic
landscape tradition is at the root of his art and combines with
his love of the landscape. |
