Umbria 9
2017
Umbria 9 draws inspiration from the Italian landscape to create a sophisticated abstract composition with restrained yet complex color interactions. The oil medium enables subtle transitions and layered transparencies that suggest rolling hills and atmospheric depth characteristic of the Umbrian region. Langford's approach balances warm earth tones with cooler accents, creating spatial recession and visual rhythm. The work demonstrates a mature handling of landscape abstraction.

Artists in conversation
Wolf Kahn
American · b. 1927
Kahn similarly translates observed landscape into luminous abstract color fields using layered oil paint, balancing warm earth tones with atmospheric cooler accents to suggest spatial depth and rolling terrain without literal representation.
Giorgio Morandi
Italian · b. 1890
Morandi's restrained, sophisticated handling of muted earth tones and subtle color relationships in his Italian landscape works directly parallels Langford's nuanced approach to spatial recession and quiet visual harmony rooted in the same regional atmosphere.
Maureen Gallace
American · b. 1960
Gallace creates subtly abstracted landscape paintings with restrained color harmony and layered paint surfaces that evoke atmospheric depth and rolling terrain through minimal yet sophisticated compositional decisions closely aligned with Langford's mature approach.
