The artwork, titled “St-Remy de Provence,” was created by Brett Whiteley in 1983. It is associated with the Neo-Figurative Art movement and belongs to the landscape genre. In this piece, Whiteley presents a vivid landscape scene that is rich in texture and color, capturing the essence of the natural surroundings.
The composition features a dominant easel in the foreground, holding a detailed sketch, which intriguingly integrates into the broader, more abstract landscape background. The hills are painted with sweeping, dynamic brushstrokes, emphasizing movement and vitality. A circular sun radiates at the top center, casting angular beams of light across the scene. The palette is primarily composed of deep greens and blues, interspersed with lighter, contrasting elements. The overall effect is both contemplative and energetic, reflecting the balance between nature’s serenity and its dynamic force.
