Recommended by Suzannah (Marketing and Communications Manager):

Gordon Mortensen achieves incredible realism and brilliance in his reduction woodcuts, a process that is complex and requires intricate planning on the part of the artist. “Evening Gold” is less detailed than many of his larger pieces, but draws and keeps your gaze as much as his well known floral landscapes. Bold blocks of color and subtle gradients make up an impossibly luminous landscape. The soft pink in the water floats, the purple in the background is deep and cool, and the golden grass shines blindingly bright. All together, this impressionistic and almost abstract scene feels at once peaceful and magnificently beautiful.
