Disrupted Landscapes: Sketch for Autumn’s Garland (Tom Thomson) -SOLD

Acrylic paint on canvas, vinyl screen mesh, thread, 41” x 48”, painted ash frame

The Tom Thomson painting, Sketch for Autumn’s Garland is the reference from which a reproduction has been painted and then ‘disrupted’ by applying a screen and painting over top.

The obstruction speaks to the evolution of our relationship to land from an idealized settler perspective of the Thomson era, to the present day Anthropocene.
