Birch Tree with Mimosa and Wildflowers

This lively semi-abstract artwork, part of a recent series, captures the essence of landscapes in Andalucia. The expansive acrylic painting features a vibrant color palette and dynamic brushwork, inspired by the Fauvist styles of Matisse and Derain, while also reflecting Hockney's modern interpretations of landscapes and the recent influences of Damien Hirst. A Birch tree, not yet adorned with spring leaves, spreads its branches across the canvas, contrasting with the wilderness of warm yellow mimosa blossoms and lemon yellow wildflowers on the hillside. The simplified semi-abstract shapes in the background suggest a mountainous landscape alongside a rugged roadside, highlighted by orange, yellow, and magenta tones. This outstanding piece is signed on the front and is ready for display.

In her latest collection, "New Wild Beasts," Kirsty Wain presents a series of oil and acrylic paintings inspired by the Fauvist genre of the early 20th century. This vibrant body of work captures the essence of the Spanish landscape and seascapes. The Fauvist movement, known for its focus on painterly techniques and vivid colours, marked a departure from the realistic representations typical of Impressionism. Influenced by this earlier artistic trend, Matisse and his followers embraced a flat approach to colour, creating a new pictorial space that eschewed traditional three-dimensionality. Fauvism is also recognized as a form of expressionism, distinguished by its brilliant hues and dynamic brushwork.
