David Tremlett

Madras - India

1985

A richly textured work on paper, this piece sees Tremlett apply pastel in his characteristically bold, sweeping strokes to evoke the sensory landscape of Madras, India. The composition likely draws on the artist's practice of responding directly to place, translating the colors, rhythms, and atmosphere of his surroundings into abstracted form. Warm, luminous tones and gestural marks suggest the heat and vibrancy of the Indian subcontinent.
