About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Mandy Main presents a light-filled atmospheric landscape that combines old-world realism with a modern aesthetic. A brimming reservoir stretches off into the distance under clouds dancing across an expansive silvery blue sky. Hills on the far side and in the foreground whimsically appear in soft green and pink grays. A solitary oak presides over the scene, accompanied by scattered shrubs. Mandy uses a classical composition where the eye enters at the bottom and is drawn to the right then up and around in a circular flow.
About the Artist
Mandy Main is an art historian and landscape painter based in the Southern California desert. She has long been passionate about 19th Century American landscape paintings, which has been influential in her artistic practice. Mandy works in series, generally three paintings at a time. Her process begins with a vision of a place she has been, but she takes creative liberties with the aesthetic details. The artist is captivated by light and shadow, and strives to instill her work with moody drama through the representation of these elements. Using layers of paint and glazes, Mandy achieves mesmerizing atmospheric depth, encouraging the viewer to gaze and be still.
