Erin Ross
Canadian landscape artist Erin Ross presents a greatly illustrative and romantic view of the Alberta prairies focusing on literal imagery and moody pastoral vistas.
Constantly exploring the brooding colour palette of the "Golden West" amidst the change of time and sky, Ross creates elegantly deconstructed and reconstructed expansive views of the intrinsically beautiful wide-open terrain of Alberta's softly sprawling plains.
Ross, whose work is a deep reflection upon her surroundings, plays with nostalgia, the familiar and individual perceptions to artfully represent the electric solitude of the panoramas highlighted in each work. Utilizing superbly glowing hues, to generate warm undertones and an unexpected quietness, the artist elevates each work with a splendid use of natural contrast and composition.
While focusing on shadow and the moody overcast of cloud cover, Ross's work maintains a masterful introduction of pure, ecstatic light and luminosity that creates an invigorating entry into a deeply engaging idyllic and realistic view of countryside.
