Autumn Sunrise by Fleur Park [2022] Autumn Sunrise is an original abstract landscape painting by artist Fleur Park which takes inspiration from Gerhard Richter, the fields around where Fleur lives, the natural environment, and the colours created by the sun rising. Autumn Sunrise contains a more atmospheric colour palette, featuring silvers contrasting against warm Autumnal and rusty oranges. This painting contains depth and movement through Fleur's use of texture, gestural mark making and subtle use of pattern.
