| Three of the paintings inward Lydia Bauman, Looking for Georgia - Painting Georgia O’Keeffe Country - the key thought is of the Ghost Ranch landscape |
Yesterday morn I saw ane of the most impressive solo exhibitions inward the Mall Galleries that I've seen to date. It has large together with small-scale landscapes which are visually stunning, has a large subject together with a even out behind it together with the icon is splendid.
I wishing to a greater extent than people were inspired past times an exhibition almost an creative individual together with cause got themselves off to detect the countryside where a painter painted together with and therefore detect the places together with spaces together with pigment them again.
I gauge ane of the reasons it appeals to me is that I'm an inveterate seeker out of places where people painted. I gauge it's something that either appeals to yous or it doesn't. For me I larn something almost the painter past times beingness able to meet what they meet - although it doesn't ever function out. Trees cause got a habit of growing inward front end of views equally I works life out on my Van Gogh trail inward Provence! However dorsum to the exhibition....

Lydia Bauman, Looking for Georgia - Painting Georgia O’Keeffe Country is on until Sabbatum sec March 2019 at the Mall Galleries.
I highly recommend a viewing if yous tin plow over the axe acquire at that spot - it's real impressive. Indeed it is past times far the most impressive exhibition of landscape icon that I've seen inward the Mall Galleries later on many years of visiting. The large Main Gallery tin plow over the axe overwhelm wimpy icon together with needs bold icon to depict yous downward the stairs. Bauman's larger paintings 'read' good from 100 feet away together with acquire improve equally yous acquire closer!
This is a adult woman who actually knows how to pigment large landscapes inward an appropriate means - together with how to role mixed media to plow over a 'grounded' together with spiritual feel of the landscape. Her color palette is slightly exaggerated together with yet remains truthful to the place. Her tonal values are spot on therefore that all the zones inward price of distances together with changes inward landscape read actually good - despite the fact that for many people the New United Mexican U.S. landscape volition last something they've never experienced.

The even out of how the exhibition came about
The even out is that Lydia Bauman visited the Georgia O'Keeffe exhibition at Tate Modern 2 years ago. Having visited the exhibition, similar me, Lydia works life O'Keeffe's paintings of landscapes to last extremely stimulating together with wanted to detect the places inward northern New United Mexican U.S. where she had painted together with to reinterpret the landscapes inward her ain style.In belatedly 2016 I stood alongside her colourful paintings of New United Mexican U.S. desert at the exhibition “Georgia O'Keeffe” inward London's Tate Modern together with I asked myself:Having viewed her website I tin plow over the axe meet why this kind of projection would appeal. She's evidently worked on projects inward specific places inward the past. Her trend is to pigment large landscape paintings with huge vistas - summation zones together with layers real evidently appeal to her - equally they attain to me.
to what extent did her paintings stand upward for the truthful graphic symbol of that landscape?
It was mayhap inevitable for me to eventually move to the province Georgia O’Keeffe called“my backyard” to banking concern agree it out for myself.
- What would it last similar to detect myself inward a landscape therefore thoroughly appropriated past times another, much celebrated creative individual ?
- What did O’Keeffe response to, what did she go out out?
- How would our unlike methods serve the graphic symbol of the land?
- How of import is it to know a house good inward social club to pigment it well?
Then nosotros acquire the difference. Whereas a see to northern New United Mexican U.S. is nevertheless on my bucket list, she made plans together with visited!
In 2017 she travelled with her boy to 'Georgia O’Keeffe Country' - which is the expanse around Ghost Ranch together with Abiquiu inward the Northern New United Mexican U.S. desert which O’Keeffe referred to equally her 'backyard' - to re-interpret the landscapes made familiar to some of us past times O'Keeffe's ain paintings.
She made lots of studies together with sketches together with and therefore came domicile together with worked upward her paintings
