Evoking the peaceful beauty of nature, Falling Water #3 by New York City-based artist, Melita Osheowitz explores the delicate interplay between the natural world, movement and abstraction. Layers of gesso and oil paint are built up on hand-shaped spirals of canvas cascading in vertical gestures, creating a tactile sense of grasses, reeds, trees or rainfall over a lush green landscape.
Muted greens, olive tones, earthy ochres, and luminous passages of cream hues move rhythmically across the three dimensional surface. The varying gradients of oil brushstrokes create a sense of depth and transparency, giving the artwork a feeling of organic growth and continual movement.
Both meditative and energetic, the painting invites the viewer to look beyond literal representation and experience the landscape as a sensation–light filtering through foliage, wind moving through tall grasses and nature continually shifting before the eye. The substantial scale further immerses the viewer in this atmospheric enviroment.
Melita Osheowitz's use of layered materials and expressive vertical mark-making creates a compelling balance between control and spontaneity, offering a gorgeous work of art for the home that feels both grounded in the natural world and distinctly contemporary.
