The unnatural intensity of colour in this piece transforms the visuals of the Canadian wilderness from familiar to unfamiliar. Driscoll’s use of an urban medium - in this case, urethane paint - contrasts with the rural subject matter, creating a uniquely modern landscape of its own that exists in conversation with the tradition of Canadian landscape painting, notably exemplified by the work of the Group of Seven. Driscoll’s linework is softly blurred, while the bright, slightly reflective finish animates the piece, echoing the reflections on the water represented in the work.Artwork Details
