‘Spirit of the Forest II’ brings Stephen Howard’s trees together into a hedge-like form teeming with lively sprites of colour. The cloud above is ethereal and gentle. This painting offers a minimal view of an elemental landscape, musing on notions of perception and the artist’s abstract vision of the natural world.
Artist Bio
Working diversely within a broader abstract methodology, Stephen Howard’s nonrepresentational compositions of landscapes are paired with a precise handling of colour, light, and fine detail, imbuing his paintings with a colliding sense of tension and expression. His sensitive understanding of a vibrant palette in oils creates a luminosity that emphasises his true subjects – light and movement.
