Mt.Yari, Sunrise at Karasawa Hütte in the Japan Alps
100 x 120 cm
oil on canvas
Mt. Yari, Sunrise at Karasawa Hütte in the Japan Alps captures the mountains at first light, as violet skies give way to flashes of gold, pink and pale morning light across the peaks. Painted from the experience of travelling through the Japanese Alps, layered oil and mixed-media marks dissolve the mountains between observation, memory and atmosphere, capturing the brief transformation of the landscape at sunrise.
