Jonathan Wateridge — Jungle River Landscape with Plane Wreck
Jonathan Wateridge

Jungle River Landscape with Plane Wreck

A vast and immersive jungle river landscape unfolds across ten suspended plexiglass sheets, rendered in Wateridge's signature hyper-cinematic oil painting style that blurs the boundary between reality and staged artifice. The wreckage of a downed plane emerges from the lush, enveloping vegetation and murky waters, evoking a sense of post-apocalyptic stillness and the slow reclamation of human ambition by nature. The fragmented, multi-panel format adds a haunting, filmic quality, as though the viewer is piecing together the remnants of a forgotten narrative.

oil on plexiglass sheets (in ten parts)
