‘Long Acres’

Clive Patterson

Oil on Board – 60 x 60 cm

This painting is the current one on show at the Mall Galleries. It was created from various elements observed during a walk in a local park and features a grassy field I frequently walk around, some areas have been intentionally left wild, while others are regularly mowed, creating a patchwork of colours, textures, and plant variations throughout the landscape. In the background, various trees border the park; some are large and sturdy, while others are young and vibrant, complementing the pathways beneath the bold and lighter treetops. The vigorous brushwork highlights the unkempt and wild areas, contrasting with the softer tones and colours that frame the composition. The painting represents a living structure that can be seen as both an abstract pattern and a visual journey through this familiar walk. It harmonizes colours and contours, adding depth to the work while recognizing the elements described.

Artist's Statement

“I want viewers to connect with the source of inspiration inherent within the paintings, firstly by their recognition of chosen elements, but ultimately to journey into the abstract thoughts around the subject and the scene…”
