'Lifeblood' is an original 60 x 60cm expressionist landscape painting by Bruce Peebles, created as part of his Primordial Landscapes series. This body of work reflects an ongoing meditation on deep time and the natural history of the earth, distilled to its most elemental forces — earth, water, and air.
Inspired by a journey through Outback Queensland, Lifeblood speaks to the vital importance of water in sustaining both land and life. Dark, cloud-like forms hover above the composition, while branching river systems carve through the ochre ground below, echoing veins or roots that nourish the terrain. These flowing channels symbolise rain-fed rivers — fragile, precious, and essential — carrying renewal across an otherwise harsh and unforgiving landscape.
The earthy palette of burnt orange and deep black conveys the tension between drought and abundance, stillness and movement. Through expressive mark-making and layered texture, Peebles captures the quiet drama of a landscape shaped by time, weather, and survival. 'Lifeblood' invites viewers to reflect on nature’s delicate balance and the profound dependency between water and the land it sustains.
