The Shallows (Study)

In July 2021, I went back to the Kimberley Coast, one of the most wonderful landscapes on this planet. Forever changing through weather conditions, time of day and the resulting reflections, it’s an endless source of inspiration. Time has undeniably had a profound effect on this coastline. Millions of years of erosion has created bent and twisted rock formations that often look, to my artist’s eye, quite abstract. I’m taking these observations and pushing them further, by abstracting the visual impressions of this landscape even more and sitting them above their more realistic counterparts. This is a journey within a journey, from representation through to abstraction. It’s a journey I love – Brendon Darby
