俄亥俄州艺术家罗伯特•罗斯(Robert Roth)描绘了浩瀚的天空和太阳的力量,捕捉到了地平线上的蓝色融化成明亮的琥珀色和柔和的玫瑰色。
虽然罗斯经常被认为是一位风景画家,但他所画的地平线却低悬在画布上;土地仅次于天空的力量。“天空是一种强大的自然形式,”罗斯解释说,“它揭示了光和颜色的无尽组合。但是,当捕捉到每一次炽热的日落,并将其发布到Instagram上时,呈现这种地平线的艺术作品往往无法激发任何强烈的敬畏感。罗斯以其快速、粗犷的笔触,成功地以新的方式描绘了这样的场景。他的绘画将天空的无限品质,以及它与陆地和水的关系,转移到了画布上。罗斯告诉我们:“在我的画作中,我试图实现那种广阔的感觉,因为反射的光线穿过低矮的地平线,穿过水道,照亮地面。”“我的画真的是对天空的抽象研究,而风景只是碰巧溜了进来。”

Ohio-based artist Robert Roth paints the vastness of the sky and the power of the sun, capturing the horizon as blue melts into shades of bright amber and soft rose.
Though Roth is often considered a landscape painter, the horizons that he paints sit low on the canvas; the land secondary to the might of the sky. “Skies are a powerful form of nature,” Roth explains, “revealing endless compositions of light and color.” But when every blazing sunset is captured and posted to Instagram, often artworks that render such horizons fail to inspire any great sense of awe. Roth, with his fast, broad brushstrokes, manages to paint such scenes in new ways. His paintings transfer the infinite quality of the sky, and its relationship to land and water, to canvas. “Within my paintings, I try to achieve that sense of vastness as the reflective light travels throughout the low horizon and across the waterways, lighting up the ground,” Roth tells us. “My paintings are really abstract studies of skies and the landscape just happens to sneak in.”
