Late Winter Angophora Walk (Cool Burn) - Douglas Schofield

Late Winter Angophora Walk (Cool Burn) by NSW artist Douglas Schofield   - Finalist in the 2024 Heysen Prize for Landscape.

My work approaches themes of landscape through the lens of gardening practice. As a gardener and horticulturist, I am attuned to the changes, both dramatic and subtle, in my surrounding climate and ecosystems. Through abstraction I aim to contribute non-figurative visual language to the contemporary experience of being in Landscape. This painting reflects on regeneration efforts in my local Sydney bush where Angophoras proliferate, recalling the open atmosphere after extensive weed removal and cool burns.
