Subject(s): Summary: Series of landscapes painted by artist during sojourn in Co. Mayo, Ireland. Working in front of nature (or at times, inescapably, through a windscreen streaked with rain), he confronts light and weather with an act of concentration—”like swordfighting or tennis”, as he says. Its exactitude of observation is also utterly sensual, the shifting, subtle forms and planes forcing a shock of recognition: this is how it was, at this place, in this moment
