“Sunrise” by Lisa Congdon. Gouache and acrylic on wooden panel. From her gallery “Boreas” which was featured in Gallery Hijinks.
My latest body of work, Boreas (named for the god of the north wind and winter), evolved out of an obsession with the beauty of the Icelandic landscape… My works are not intended to be realistic snapshots of any period of time, natural setting or people. Instead, I have drawn from a rich array of Nordic landscapes and cultures to create narrative works that cause the viewer to question time and place.
