The greenfields in the morning have a specific quality of light — the low angle, the dew still on the grass, the particular blue-green that early morning renders the landscape in before the sun climbs and changes everything. Gavin Dobson's abstract landscape sits within his Landscapes of the Mind series, which uses the fluidity and movement of paint to investigate the relationship between environment and thought — how a specific quality of light or colour can change the way you're thinking without you choosing it.
Dobson's practice in landscape is as painterly and loose as his figurative work, the brush strokes carrying the movement of the paint as much as the image. Oil on board, signed. £250.
