Uphill by Olga Megele
This landscape contains beautiful, multiple layers of texture and colour. Even more beautiful in real life. It glows with rich ochres, sienna, and reds. Broad confident strokes of the palette knife are evident. It is a stunning and evocative piece.
Uphill sits as a piece that belongs to my repeating themes of journeys. Here I muse on the glass half full/half empty trope in a different context. I prefer to think that uphill is a good thing in a journey, human endeavour pushes us to the peak.
Influenced by the great tradition of Australian landscape artist.
The sides are painted in a wrap around style which makes framing optional. Ready to hang together or separately. 3 x 61 x 76 x 3.5cm Stretched Canvas. Total 183 x 76 x 3.5cm
