WALTER VOIGT, Sunrise Plains Study, Tswalu
Oil on canvas, 15 x 41 cm
The son of artist parents, Walter Voigt’s technical ability, coupled with a passion for sky and landscape, enables him to evoke the elements of light, space, air and movement. His atmospheric paintings invite contemplation and act as visual meditations on colour, light and form. Voigt’s paintings are constructed with broad, energetic strokes and there is a vigorous, scratchy quality to his work, achieved with a palette knife and oil bar, in addition to the brush. ‘The Turneresque views project a very emotive content upon the landscape. The quality of light and the juxtaposition with dark becomes a metaphor for broader, more ethereal concepts … The works become a pantheistic representation, almost having a spiritual residue encapsulating the place. This is not an attempt to record the landscape but rather an effort to allow the viewer to experience the particular light that is unique to the southern parts of Africa.’
