About the Item
Jolanta Johnsson, experienced Polish artist, graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, PhD of fine arts, university teacher. She currently lives in Sweden. This is how she writes about this painting:
The landscape near me is diverse. There is forest, meadows, and lakes near my home. The lakes are surrounded by forests. On calm windless days when the lake water is as smooth as a mirror, the silhouettes of the trees are reflected in the water. It seems as if they want to look at themselves and confirm their beauty. A symmetrical image emerges. Nature likes to play with symmetry. From symmetry, we expect an exact repetition of the arrangement in the mirror image. We can observe this in many natural structures. The best example is the structure of a leaf. In autumn, when the leaves fall to the ground when I don’t have to pluck them to pick them up and look at them closely, then I admire the symmetrical arrangement of their veins. Nature repeats them exactly. And yet she sometimes deviates from the original patterns and creates fanciful new versions. Nature is inventive. And yet, I sense a certain logic in the landscape near me, the presence of some kind of structure on which it all rests. I have chosen geometric forms to signal its presence. Every year nature offers its riches in every season, it will never cease to be a source of inspiration for me. I look ahead. What landscapes will be created next year?
Of course, I am not the only one who draws on the resources of the landscape around me. Many artists live and create in the area. I look at their work at exhibitions and see that landscape is a frequent motif that appears on their canvases. I can conclude that there are landscape artists near me.

- DivideBy Doug FreedLocated in Tulsa, OKDivide by artist Doug Freed is a deep blue contemporary abstract landscape oil on canvas painting that measures 72 x 96 and is priced at $18,000. Doug Freed attempts to capture the mystical light found in natural atmospheric effects: the haze in the distance on humid summer days, the overcast gloom of winter skies, and the softness of landscape bathed in fog, and the quieting mood of approaching darkness. In his luminescent multi-paneled oil paintings Freed tries to find the gray area between traditional landscape painting and its abstraction into color fields. Artist Statement For nearly twenty years, I made non-objective grid structured paintings. I started to see references to landscape in these works. I've literalized those references by painting oil landscape vistas of horizons, clouds and bodies of water. These paintings consist of two or more vertical panels. Usually one panel is landscape imagery. The adjacent panels are often atmospheric voids with vestiges of recognizable landscapes. I try to capture the mystical light found in natural atmospheric effects: the haze in the distance on humid summer days, the overcast gloom of winter skies, and the softness of landscape bathed in fog, and the quieting mood of approaching darkness. My intent is to create paintings imbued with a meditative, spiritual presence suggesting issues about time and ecology. I do this by softly modulating color, tone and value. The color varies from quiet, monochromatic works to fully orchestrated chromatic ones. By blending from one hue to another I create color which makes its self gradually felt, weeping forth. In this manner, I create illusions of mysterious emanations of light, places where ones eyes and spirit are invited to linger. I try to imbue my work with a monumental presence, epic in both size and scope. I do this by orchestrating the separate elements of color, texture and structure into a harmonious whole. I seek a somewhat reductive image rich in value and contrast. The surface of the work is devoid of textural incidence. I don’t want anything to distract from the illusion of depth so I deny any marks which would hold the viewer on the surface of the painting. In my luminescent multi- paneled oil paintings I try to find the grey area between traditional landscape painting and its abstraction into color fields. The compositions are about ambiguities of form and void, foreground and background and surface and deep space. My roots lie in tonalism, color field painting and minimalism. However, my work contains an ever-present awareness of the dramatic use of light of the post-renaissance chiaroscurists. It combines a classical awareness of structure with a romantic use of color always in combination with a unique sense of ambiguity. My work continues in its evolution of style the search for an abstract means of probing the ambiguities of physical and spiritual experience of light, and its power to foster a more intense life of the spirit through profound emotional experience of form, color and composition.
