Marcus Freeman : LANDSCAPE - New Paintings

29 Sep-18 Oct 2011

Sartorial Contemporary Art
London WC1H 8AP

Overview

In his upcoming exhibition of new paintings, Freeman has turned his attentions to landscape. Although not exclusively set in the English countryside, these imaginary paintings are inspired by the history of 20th century landscape painting in Britain. Using a restricted palette of black, white and muted earth colours, and negative line, Freeman's acrylic paintings resemble huge woodcuts, suggesting an ambiguity about where they sit in relation to painting, illustration and design.
