ROSS PENHALL

Well-known for his West Coast landscapes, Ross Penhall parses the tensions of a point of interest and then manipulates it, adding and subtracting, until he has transformed the composition to lead the viewers eye through a simulacrum of the original view. In the exhibition, Losing Control of the Landscape, Penhall’s geographical focus expands beyond the west coast to the views, and the emotions they provoke in him, of the open vistas of the Prairies and the distinct coastline of the East Coast.
