Hiroshi Senju
Japanese · b. 1958

Senju is renowned for his monumental waterfall paintings rendered with an otherworldly, luminous palette that transforms natural cascades into dreamlike spectacles. Like Tan, he strips familiar natural phenomena of conventional color to create emotionally charged and visually arresting landscape works.

April Gornik
American · b. 1953

Gornik paints sweeping natural landscapes featuring dramatic lighting and unconventional color atmospheres that make familiar terrain feel psychologically charged and otherworldly. Her oil paintings frequently juxtapose the overwhelming scale of nature with small human presences, mirroring Tan's diminutive figures on the suspension bridge.

Peter Doig
British · b. 1959

Doig creates oil on canvas landscapes with dramatically reinterpreted and emotionally heightened color palettes, often featuring small isolated human figures dwarfed by vast natural settings rendered in unexpected hues. His approach to transforming observed nature into a subjective chromatic experience closely parallels Tan's color inversion and narrative depth in this waterfall scene.
