Love the flat planes and simplicity of Toba Kedoori’s work. Untitled (branches 1) in particular. Both images adhere to an accepted aesthetic of composition and understanding of tonal choices. Although No single focus point. No clearly defined background or foreground. The eye does not rest. Thrilled to have come across this painting IRL having admired it in past, online.
To quote exhibition guide. ‘At a time when the destruction of the world’s forests is accelerating at a record pace, AMONG THE TREES surveys how artists have responded to the crucial role trees play in our lives and imaginations. Spanning the past 50 years – a period that coincides with the modern environmental movement – it brings together artworks that ask us to think about trees and forests in different ways.’
‘Woods defeat the viewfinder…they cannot be framed’
