Abstract

Kathryn Ryan’s painterly interpretations of nature move beyond the merely representational. Driven by a desire to express something of the deeper, intimate experience that the landscape can offer, Ryan uses horizon lines, paddocks and the trees within them as her enduring muse. The artist states, “The rural landscape of South West Victoria has been a source of inspiration for some years now. It provides a starting point for me to explore the use of landscape as metaphor, to convey more eternal and universal concerns such as desires for balance & harmony, serene contemplation and a connection to the spiritual.” [Gallery media, 2009].
