Description“Visceral Landscape” is an exploration of our instinctual nature underneath the intellect. The colors and composition of this piece were not planned in advance but rather were formed spontaneously, through trial and error. The rich, saturated turquoise blue, crimson, and dark dioxide purple suggest a certain depth and intensity while the horizontal linear structure reflects a certain innate calm.
