'Split Landscape: Yellow Valley/ Mount Angeles' by Luke Forsyth (@luke_forsyth ) that's currently on view through May 9th for #BeyondTheGates at Chefas Projects. Acrylic, watercolor, gouache, colored pencil and textured adhesive on canvas with artist frame, 35 x 45.25 inches.
Forsyth’s compositions balance playful imagination with a reverence for traditional imagery. Drawing on motifs such as flowers and landscapes, his work embraces a universal simplicity while maintaining a dynamic visual tension. Frequently set against deep, chalkboard-black backgrounds, his vibrant mark-making achieves a striking contrast that amplifies the emotional resonance of each piece

The orange sunset is from a Rene Magritte painting and the surreal master inspired the title for the work as well. Fun to pull from art history to have imbedded power from the past ✨
