New Landscape Paintings
Artist Reception: Friday, October 11th from 5 - 7pm
Doug West's newest body of work presents a unique fusion of highly detailed landscapes with a surreal, dreamlike quality. His paintings focus on New Mexico's distinct geography, featuring elements such as desert terrain, distant mountains, and kinetic skies. Through these scenes, he explores a deeper, ethereal perspective on nature and reality.
West often juxtaposes realistic, foregrounded plants with expansive, otherworldly backdrops. Through his work, West invites viewers to embrace a "liminal mind space" that reveals glimpses of a magical world, encouraging introspection and exploration of new emotional and physical landscapes. His art emphasizes a profound reverence for the natural world, offering hope and awe in each meticulously crafted scene.
