Catalogue note

A green valley unrolls across three joined panels beneath a bruised, storm-lit sky, a lone palm marking the left panel while a fence line draws the eye inward. Luminous acid greens are set against heavy greys and violets in broad, confident strokes that keep the surface alive. Sunlight breaking across the middle distance lends the scene its uneasy optimism, pastoral calm set under the threat of weather.
