In ‘Treeline’, a cacophony of treetops draws us into a depth of detail. Shocks of vibrant colour are fragmented and gathered into the greens, the full spectrum of nature’s brilliance describing the forest’s rich texture. Twilight or dawn, the dusky glow from above illuminates the skyline with a potent but gentle touch.
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.
