Sandbanks on the Loire by Swiss painter and graphic artist Felix Vallotton. Developing an interest in woodcuts thanks to a exhibition of Japanese art, Vallotton develop stark techniques with large areas of solid black or white. Later he concentrated on painting that tended towards stark realism but this painting from two years before his death points towards the pittura metafisica (Metaphysical art) movement.
My reworking of Sandbanks on the Loite is an experiment in using flat planes of colour to capture the otherworldliness of Vallotton's original.
