Woodland at Park Guell, Barcelona

This remarkable piece of art, part of a recent series, captures a woodland setting within the grounds of Park Güell, Barcelona. The large-scale acrylic painting is distinguished by its vivid color palette and energetic brushwork, influenced by the Fauvist styles of Matisse and Derain, while also reflecting Hockney's contemporary landscape interpretations. The foreground features bold patterned brushstrokes against a bright yellow and magenta backdrop. The tall trees are illustrated in striking hues of orange, purple, mauve, and magenta, intertwining with the pathways that guide visitors through the beautiful parkland. This remarkable artwork 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.
