Takezawa, Kamikochi Forest - Japan Alps

 
Takezawa, Kamikochi Forest, contemporary landscape painting by Peter Kettle inspired by the forest, mountain streams and turquoise water of Kamikochi in the Japanese Alps.

180 x 110 cm

oil on canvas

Takezawa, Kamikochi Forest – Japan Alps draws on the dense woodland and clear mountain water of Kamikochi. Slender tree trunks interrupt layers of turquoise, deep green, ochre and reflected light, while fragmented marks suggest water moving through the forest floor. The painting explores the shifting relationship between woodland, water and mountain light within the Japanese Alps.
