Poppies in Landscape

A vibrant rural landscape unfolds across the canvas, with striped fields of golden wheat anchoring the composition whilst poppies bloom in brilliant red across the foreground. Modest dwellings nestle amongst trees rendered in bold yellows and greens, their architectural forms simplified into geometric shapes. The artist employs acrylic with deliberate flatness and vivid colour saturation, creating rhythmic patterns across the picture plane. Mountains rise in warm oranges and ochres under a brilliant blue sky. Trobec’s characteristically uninhibited palette and playful distortion of form exemplify his departure into naïve fauvism.
