Spotted Gum Honey Moon

A selection of new paintings by Douglas Schofield. His work approaches themes of landscape through the lens of gardening practice. As a gardener and horticulturist, Schofield is attuned to changes in his surrounding climate and ecosystems. Personal experiences and social narratives around gardens interlace with themes of weather and plant protagonists. The abstract paintings are gestural, textual, dug, scraped and tenderly grown, reaching toward an atmosphere of garden spaces and celebrating the detritus and mess associated with them.
