Lingering in the shifting light and layered forms of Greer Clayton’s ‘Blue Shade Day’. Through her use of a restrained, cool palette of soft blues and greys in muted tones, Clayton describes the sense of a familiar landscape without ever fully defining it; instead, she captures an atmospheric stillness that draws us into her sublime vision of the natural world.
Artist Bio
Contemporary painter Greer Clayton extracts the essence of New Zealand’s natural environment through large-scale immersive landscapes.
Drawing on retrospection and evocation, and conceptualised through the act of painting, Clayton’s atmospheric compositions present an abstracted impression of her chosen scene rather than a direct topographical representation. The resulting paintings exude a subliminal connectivity with the land itself, offering themselves as instruments with which to view beyond what the naked eye has previously submitted as fact when experiencing these familiar places ourselves. Moody, timeless, and ethereal, the paintings encourage introspection and a sense of halcyon solitude.
