Sierra Bermeja Vista (Andalucian Landscape)

This striking artwork, part of a recent series, depicts two pine trees on a mountainside with a view of the Sierra Bermeja National Park in Andalucia. This large-scale oil painting features a vibrant spectrum of colors and energetic brushwork, influenced by the Fauvist approaches of Matisse and Derain, while also reflecting Hockney's modern landscape interpretations. The foreground showcases bold warm yellows and pinks that illustrate the rocky landscape, while a strong contrast of oranges and blues represents the surrounding woodland and mountainous terrain. The pine trees' trunks are portrayed in mauve tones, highlighted with vivid yellows and oranges. This remarkable 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.
