In the series ‘Misty Mountains’ (2020–2021), Neah Byson explores the theme of mountains. For this final project in art practice, she chose the motif of mountain peaks in misty surroundings. Neah explores how the illusion of a mountain range can be created using various painterly approaches. At times the works feature a homogeneous colour scheme, at others a subdued, varied palette. The paintings in ‘Misty Mountains’ thus have an atmospheric quality. The works feature areas that are more expressive and areas that are calmer. Through these varying paces, Neah creates tension within the paintings. Throughout the series, Neah Byson seeks to bring together colour and rhythm in her paintings. She has been inspired, amongst others, by Ralf Fleck and his sophisticated, nuanced use of colour.
Neah Byson (née Mohan) is a painter and photographer. Her primary focus lies on the painterly exploration of mountain landscapes and portrait photography.
(The painting will be dispatched unframed.)
