Story / Additional InfoThis work is from a series of of rectangular landscapes with a spatially tilted ground, giving the viewer a vantage of looking upward, almost an areal view. These works are also characterized by bright colors, red trees and stylized objects, influenced by the Fauve landscape painters. The figure of the man in front is almost suspended and the reference is to the artist’s father, who was always moving and looking for something elusive with each move. The balloon in the top left is symbolic of that also. The winding road is also another symbol for searching. There are heavily collaged areas in places that give a surface texture to the painting.
