This painting explores the meandering landscape of Galston Gorge. Luke is very familiar with this winding stretch of road, regularly travelling through the gorge from his home in Kenthurst to Studio ARTES in Hornsby. Starting with a background of sky blues and misty silvers, the painting transports the viewer on a journey through dense shadowy forest on the right to the sun-drenched bushland on the left. His repetitive cane painting strokes are evocative of the hairpin bends and his drip painting technique is used to portray mist, leaves and dappled sunlight.

This is Luke’s first triptych painted on wooden board, which proved a very effective surface to paint on.

The panels have been mounted onto a timber backing frame, kindly fabricated by the Studio ARTES Wood Working group.
