Mandy Main
Natural Drama III, Oil Painting

2024

About the Item

Artist Comments
Dramatic technicolor clouds sweep across the sky, reflecting their vibrant hues on the water and sand below. The light from the nearly obscured sun peeks through the monolith, creating striking contrasts of light and shadow. The palette of blue, orange, and yellow, applied in layers of glazed oil paint, amplifies the luminosity of the scene.


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.
