“Boab trees, Kimberley’s” is a landscape artwork created in 1981 by the artist Fred Williams. The artwork is part of the Expressionism art movement.
The artwork depicts a sequence of baobab trees, or boabs, in a stylized and slightly abstract manner against a muted, pastel-toned background. The trees are rendered with bold, expressive strokes, emphasizing their unique silhouettes and bulbous trunks. Surrounding the trees are indeterminate forms and splotches of color, contributing to the painterly and emotional style characteristic of Expressionism. The landscape features a mixture of earthy and soft hues, evoking a sense of the natural environment in the Kimberley region. The horizon is subtly delineated, giving depth and perspective to the scene. The overall composition is tranquil yet vibrant, reflective of Williams’ ability to capture the essence of the Australian landscape through an expressive and interpretative lens.
