]]> Wu Chi-Tsung is a talented Taiwanese artist who is turning traditional Xuan paper, also known as rice paper, into collages depicting stunning landscapes. His works, showing unsteady oceans, icy glaciers, and rock formations, are inspired by the traditional Chinese painting style Shan Shui.

Chi-Tsung creates these unusual artworks by covering wrinkled rice papers with photosensitive coating. The papers are then exposed to the sun to bring out the lightning and shading. Finally, the artist organizes the papers into coherent groups and mounts them on canvas. Brought together, the pieces look like massive paintings.

As a final touch, Chi-Tsung applies white acrylic to increase the depth of the scenery.

“They could be anything, because they are not representing any real landscape,” Chi-Tsung explained in a chat with Ocula magazine. “This is the spirit of a Chinese landscape.”

Chi-Tsung, who splits his time between Tapei, Taiwan and Berlin, Germany, is engaged in various other media photography, videography, and set design. Through his works, he aims to combine the “traditions and contemporary art forms from the East and the West.” Among things that inspire him are “daily objects and phenomena,” which he enjoys turning “into poetic imagery.”

]]> When it comes to Polly Townsend’s paintings, the land itself is her protagonist. Treating the land as a singular subject, she disembodies its form whilst remaining faithful to the original patterns, colors, and light. This objectification helps probe the gap between the beautiful and the savage.

“The work draws on journeys I have made to specific destinations around the world,” shared Townsend in an interview with Jackson’s Art. These places share a common type of geology. “They are places where the land is stark and exposed, unfertile, remote and even hostile,” she says, adding that she can’t easily explain why she’s attracted to them, but they are captivating and seem to energize her.

Her paintings draw on solitary journeys through many of the most remote and hostile landscapes in the world, with recent works inspired by visits to Kashmir and Kyrgyzstan. The finished product presents a view of the world beyond the familiar, of places vast in scale, apparently desolate and mostly uninhabited. According to Townsend, an increasing part of the documentation process is the exploration of human impacts on even the remotest physical environments. “There are two main curiosities in the work,” she notes, “that of the very formal qualities of the land; how it is in terms of its physical attributes, and, how that basic formal physicality registers and filters through me.”

Each painting originates from an expedition or a residency. She produces small works on site using a collapsible easel, sketchbooks and photography, building up larger canvases in her London studio. “I travel with a basic lightweight kit (oils or acrylics depending on practicality) and a small easel, pencils, charcoals, and a camera,” she notes. “Sometimes these small works succeed in their own right and sometimes they become the backbone of studio work.”

]]> Carolyn Hutchings Edlund admits to finding creative stimulation in unlikely places, such as a city street bathed in glistening or late-day light following a rain shower. “Such stimuli are the seeds from which ideas grow,” she noted in a piece published on Artsy Shark.

But while her creative stimulation can be found in the mundanities of everyday life, her artistic creation is rooted in the natural world in all its richness and transcendence. Born in Rhode Island and based in New York’s beautiful Hudson Valley, Edlund is very much taken by the natural world and its inhabitants, which she explores on canvas.

“The natural world compels me to explore it, delve deeper into it, and use the tools at my disposal to paint some frisson of my visceral connection to it,” she writes. She treats her art as a sort of metaphorical bride that communicates her ideas to others. “All of my work is a communication between me and you, inviting you to create your own narrative within the context of the art and to experience the art in a positive and satisfying way,” she writes, inviting us viewers further inside her realistic landscapes.

Her landscapes, painted in vivid colors and striking detail, might be mistaken at first for photographs. It’s only upon further inspection that her brushstrokes can be discerned. Take a careful look.

]]> Early on, painter Erin Hanson made a promise to herself: every week, for the rest of her life, she would complete one painting. Using a unique technique of placing impasto paint strokes without layering, she combines 19th-century Impressionism with the lavish color palette of Expressionism – a style she named “Open Impressionism.”

After a lifetime of experimenting in different styles and mediums, it wasn’t until Hanson began rock climbing at Red Rock Canyon that her painting style was consolidated by a single inspiration and force of nature. Rock climbing among the cliffs of Nevada and Utah, while watching the seasons, and the light change daily across the desert, provided endless inspiration for her work.

These beautiful surroundings were also the backdrop for her decision to commit herself completely to her art, by painting, and then painting some more. Transforming landscapes into abstract mosaics of color and texture, her impasto application of paint lends a sculptural effect to her art.

“I think the modern or contemporary art world shies away from landscapes or natural beauty,” she told Art Aesthetics Magazine. “I don’t really understand why since it is one of the most pleasing art forms to the eye and certainly one of the most popular.

Scrolling through her Instagram page, you can definitely understand the appeal of landscape paintings.

]]> Kate Shaw’s passion for landscape painting began when she traveled to Central Australia. “A visit to Central Australia in 2004 really helped me coalesce ideas about the materiality of paint and how this could connect with the material world through landscape,” she recalled in an interview with Lost At E Minor. “The sedimentary layers of rocks literally looked like the paint I was playing around with in my studio, and it started from there.”

It might have started there, but the best was yet to come. Now based between Melbourne and the US, Shaw’s paintings continue to be a reflection of her surroundings, inspired by her travels around the world. “Most of the time I really need to experience a place before I make work about it,” she explained, adding that she’s really “very visceral.”

But though based on her observations, her art is also very much surreal, exploring themes like alchemy and environmental change, as she continuously reinterprets what constitutes landscape painting. “Recently, I did a residency at SIM in Iceland that allowed me to travel to some amazing places there,” she says. “The lava flows and melting glaciers create incredible sculptural forms, which inspires how I translate this into the paintings. I am very visceral.”

A continuous reflection of her environment, her work also takes her to cities like New York and San Francisco, to London and Hong Kong, all of which have exhibited her paintings. Scroll down to see some of her paintings.
