Mandy Main
Chasing Lancelot, Oil Painting

2021

About the Item

Artist Comments
"Traveling in England's Cotswolds region, I sought out a number of impressive gardens designed by Lancelot 'Capability' Brown," shares artist Mandy Main. "This estate, Croome Court, has a colorful history, including its 1979 purchase by John Lennon for use as a Hare Krishna community! Dramatic clouds arch through an ominous sky above the magnificent mansion and landscape. This animated family was chasing their dog through grounds covered with yellow flowers. In the course of painting them, I named the dog Lancelot."


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.

    A sweeping landscape of Rapid City, South Dakota. Lights glow against a dark atmosphere filled with cliffs and mountains.
