Nicholas Harper Ambient Landscapes (Nocturnes)

Nicholas Harper's Ambient Landscapes, or Nocturnes, draw upon emotive imprints from places real and imagined, whose memory, when conjured, is felt as much as it is remembered in any literal sense. With a palette of rich colors laden with black, pristine glazing and a minimalist approach, Harper presents seductively moody tableaux cast in mystical light and shrouded in melancholic shadow. Harper's somber and emotional vista s express the sublime qualities of the natural world, carving a space for introspection and offer still moments of solemnity and reverence.
