Volumetric Landscape Painting by Ross Penhall
Posted on the 08 July 2016 by 2illustration
Ross Penhall is a talented painter and artist based in Vancouver, Canada. Ross was born in 1959 in West Vancouver, he attended the studio art program at Capilano College and studied printmaking with internationally renowned print maker and AfK patron Wayne Eastcott. His slight alteration of the landscape adds yet another layer to the man-nature dichotomy: rather than depicting a scene with rigid realism, he transforms it into something entirely new through an intricate process of visual editing. The bold, unconventional paintings eliminate human beings, leaving only their traces, in groomed trails, clipped hedges, winding roads and orderly flora.
Penhall's work can be found in numerous private, corporate and public collections in the United States and in Canada.
