About this product

By Gulja Holland From A Distance Limited Edition Prints Up close, the abstract composition evokes an aerial image of an exotic landscape. Stand back, and a girl’s face may appear, with a wink and cheeky grin in seeping dark blue splodges, suggestive of yet another oil spill. Measurements: 42 cm x 52 cm Printed on high-quality Decor Smooth Art 210gsm Available framed and unframed Available colours of the frames: White or Black (Kindly specify your preference in the Comments upon Checkout) About the Collection Like many millennials, the existential threats of global warming and environmental destruction are issues I worry about and reflect on regularly. The idea for this series came about upon discovering the work of Daniel Beltrá including his iconic photographs of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. In the same year, I had also discovered the gloss paintings of Australian abstract artist Dale Frank. He would often speak of his work as scientific experiments in which he established ‘’at least twelve responses and reactions that I have been able to observe and replicate on-demand’’. While experimenting with industrial paints I observed similar entropic qualities to those Frank spoke of.
