About the artwork
Marie - until 10/11 These landscapes are all about preserving the integrity of the place while expressing something of the feelings that were aroused in the artist by having been there. Ford studies the landscape, then distances himself from it physically and with time, in order to filter out unnecessary detail. He then uses his memory to capture the spirit of what he has seen on his canvases. As a result, his paintings are often not representations of any particular place, but more of the impression that place has left upon him.
