About the Item
"(sequoia) red creek" is an abstract landscape painting featuring hues of orange, blue, green, purple and yellow.
Katherine Sandoz is inspired by the work of Helen Frankenthaler, Richard Diebenkorn, Morris Louis, Vincent Van Gogh, Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell and Neil Welliver.
Katherine Sandoz is a Savannah, Georgia, based multi-disciplinary artist working in painting, fibers, wall treatments and public art. Sandoz creates richly woven abstract landscapes inspired by landforms and native flora. Utilizing passages of transparent and opaque, warm and cool, textured and smooth layers of water-based media, these dynamic compositions allow the viewer to experience the subject matter from multiple vantage points at once.
Sandoz’s "(sequoia)" is a new series of paintings that examine the idea of 'locus amoenus,' a literary tool which describes an idealized, safe place, a place containing trees, grass and water. 'Locus amoenus' is at once a green world, a feminine place, an expression of a universal spirituality that is nature. A 'hortus conclusus,' or enclosed garden, is also a paradox in that nature is not, can not be, enclosed or walled. All the paintings in Sandoz’s series evoke an idealized landscape while reminding us of the artifice of the picture plane.
The title, "(sequoia)," is taken from the name of the giant trees that grow in northern California. They are the tallest trees, as well as the heaviest by weight, in the world. The initial design and underlying structure for the 28 works in the series originate from a single painting of a large redwood tree stand, yet each painting has evolved into a new distinct landscape. The word 'sequoia,' in this case, is used to connote a sense of something immense, larger than ourselves, and as connected as the trees themselves.
While the locations of each of the paintings are specific and unique, the architecture of the works also allows the viewer the possibility of “any place” being presented. Sand dunes become mountain cliffs, grasses become clouds, a painting can be hung north south or south north. In this way, the viewer draws connections that are both intellectual and emotional as they compare, contrast the formal aspects of the works, observe or ignore the paradoxes woven into the surfaces.
Through the intellectual, emotional and physical landscape of these paintings, we might better recognize the natural world, our place in it, that we are more enmeshed than we allow. The paintings at once offer a salve for the experience of disease, discord, unrest, but they also spur us to be future-facing, to hold ourselves to a higher standard, one that is modeled by the great sequoia.
As her cousin Swiss sculptor Edouard Marcel Sandoz once said, “In art, one has to love everything: nature, science, one's fellow man.” This credo holds true as Sandoz develops multi-layered vistas that offer the viewer opportunities to experience and explore the landscapes and botany of the United States. As with painters like Richard Diebenkorn and Agnes Pelton, Sandoz returns again and again to the work of the greatest designer and inspiration, Mother Nature.
Sandoz studied French and International Relations at Mount Holyoke College prior to receiving an MFA in illustration and an MFA in painting at SCAD. She is a former professor of illustration, also at SCAD. Sandoz’s work hangs in private and public spaces worldwide.

Katherine Sandoz
Katherine Sandoz is inspired by the work of Helen Frankenthaler, Richard Diebenkorn, Morris Louis Bernstein, Vincent Van Gogh, Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell and Neil Welliver. In recent years, she has created four-year-long projects of which a series called JUBILEE is the last. While painting both indoors and out, from life and photographs, with the JUBILEE series, Sandoz revisits favorite subjects and locations painting them again and again.
After reflecting on the works she has created over the past 25 years, Sandoz represents both subject and mode within the new works. By shifting the palette and alternating the translucence and opacity of the individual passages, Sandoz asks the viewer to shift their perception about what is being shown and from what vantage point or points. With many layers and crisscrossing of complementary colors, the canvas records observations of light, weather, time, color and hints at changing practices, perceptions and perspectives both physical, intellectual and emotional. Most importantly, the work makes notes on the perennial and ever-changing beauty found near to the artist and her home in Savannah, Georgia.
With the marshes, waterways and people of the low-country offering perennial inspiration, Sandoz examines the quotidian and offers work that celebrates what is precious and unique. She studies, analyzes, and re-frames small moments, the mundane, neglected details of the day and the diurnal rhythms that, in turn, inspire illustrations, paintings, fibers-based works, installations and public art.
Utilizing passages of transparent and opaque, warm and cool, textured and smooth layers, Sandoz creates dynamic compositions allowing the viewer to experience the subject matter from multiple vantage points at once. Her paintings and fiber works have been exhibited internationally. She also creates portraits, art and installations for private clients as well as for fashion, contemporary culture and lifestyle brands. She contributes to several magazines and online blogs with her quirky illustrations and writing.

View All"Wildflower" - nature inspired abstract painting, bright colors
By Marina Dunbar
Located in Atlanta, GA
"Wildflower" features hues of pink, yellow, orange, blue, green and purple.
Marina Dunbar is inspired by the work of Paul Jenkins and Morris Louis.
“I often think about painting in three dimensions, rather than two,” says Marina. “When engaging with the surface, I am considering how the arrangement and folds of the canvas will influence the composition.” Her process is as rooted in the physical construction of form as it is propelled by the medium’s inherent fluidity.
The title of her exhibition – Fluent Form – refers to the practice of exploring opposing concepts, such as density and fragility, continuity and impermanence, within the same material. As one progression leads to the next, Marina studies the medium without premeditation, remaining sensitive to nuances within her process.
Marina has introduced natural elements such as dry pigments and sand into these paintings. Sand is a physical object, yet its existence is a representation of the passage of time. It is the result of rock erosion, and it is a material that continually assembles into new patterns. In the Buddhist tradition, sand is used to convey beauty and ephemerality through the construction and subsequent destruction of mandalas...

The Causeway, Original Abstract Seascape Painting, Blackwater Estuary in Essex
Located in Deddington, GB
Inspired by 'Osea Island', an idyllic haven basking serenely on the Blackwater Estuary in Essex. It is approximately 380 acres in size and is connected to the north bank of the river by a Roman causeway, covered at high water. The tranquil surroundings led me to create this painting to capture the deep moody blues and greens of the water and the orange ochres of the rugged sand dunes. I've use a painterly application with expressive linear marks in oil pastels to create movement and interest.

Autumn Sunrise by Fleur Park [2022]
Autumn Sunrise is an original abstract landscape painting by artist Fleur Park which takes inspiration from Gerhard Richter, the fields around where Fleur lives, the natural environment, and the colours created by the sun rising. Autumn Sunrise contains a more atmospheric colour palette, featuring silvers contrasting against warm Autumnal and rusty oranges. This painting contains depth and movement through Fleur's use of texture, gestural mark making and subtle use of pattern.
Fleur Park, artist and painter, has abstract and minimalist artworks available at Wychwood Art in our gallery and online. Fleur Park studied fine art and history of art at the University of Northumbria, Newcastle. After pursing a history of art career in the art world, Fleur has finally come back to her love of painting.

Tree of Love, Abstract Painting, Colourfield Painting, Large Statement Art
By Jon Rowland
Located in Deddington, GB
Jon Rowland – The emotional response to the subject of the ‘Tree of Life’ was a focus was on paint and feeling. Strong colours and the free flow of form breaking out from what seems like constraining structures are the result. To categorise it as landscape or still life is not what this painting is about. It is what it is.
Discover new paintings by Jon Rowland and his abstract expressionism with Wychwood Art. Each work has been carefully selected by Deborah Allan our Chief Art Curator. Wychwood Art have exhibited Jon Rowland in London during a pop-up exhibition of theirs at the Darren Baker Gallery. His paintings have been displayed at the Royal Academy and at the Berthold and Darren Baker Gallery in London. He has also exhibited in group exhibitions at Linacre and Green Colleges, at Swann Gallery in Woodstock, and with Wychwood Art at Battersea Art Fair. He was one of six contemporary artists who took part in an exhibition of views of Blenheim Palace, juxtaposing the original visions with today's, as part of the celebration of the 300th anniversary of Capability Brown's birth. Solo exhibitions have been at the Said Business School, Wolfson College in Central Oxford, and most recently at the Sewell Centre Art Gallery and Cornerstone Art Centre in Oxfordshire, and the Boiler Room...
