Once I am close to finishing the landscape part of the painting I then proceed to counter the monochromatic palette of the mountain with intense pantone based colours as a background, which also usually leads into a dot matrix or map grid overlay on top of the mountain.

This aspect of my work is where it leaves a more classic approach to landscape painting and places it pretty clearly in a Pop lexicon. I’m treating the mountains like celebrities, fashioning larger than life, unattainable, beautiful and mysterious portrayals. In this light the work becomes an exercise in re-framing how we perceive the mountains; examining the function of representation and how preserving something in imagery can make it iconic.
