Description: In his rich new body of work the Belgian artist Harold Ancart turns an immersive landscape of trees mountains and seas into a meditation on painting itself. Ancart often paints subjects that naturally invite contemplation such as the horizon clouds flowers flames and icebergs. His newest body of work captures the experience of landscape seen in motion or from a distance: trees blurred while driving past a far - off inky - black sea an evocative Martian mountain range. Recalling Ren Magritte Egon Schiele Gustav Klimt and Piet Mondrian who approached this subject matter in distinct ways Ancart blurs form and color figure and ground and figuration and abstraction. Reproduced here in magnificent foldouts two multipanel canvases situate the viewer between a mountainscape and a seascape both monumental in scale. Ancart segments the seascape with a stark horizon line dividing sky and ocean. Like other comparable motifs within the artist's oeuvre the vividly colored cloudy sky functions in an anthropomorphic way alluding to the endless possibilities and personalities of organic forms. Including an interview with the artist by Bob Nickas this catalogue offers insight into Ancart's frank reflections on painting writing nature and more. The publication also features a new essay by Laura Mc Lean - Ferris. Taken together the works in Traveling Light meditate on the expansive possibilities of painting.
