and they faded into the landscape : Paintings by Arnold ShivesTools Grande, John K.. and they faded into the landscape : Paintings by Arnold Shives. North Vancouver, BC: Seymour Art Gallery Society, 2018.
Abstract (English)"Shives disrupts his landscapes by playing with spatiality; interspersed with mountains, trees and water are abstract shapes and lines. These graphic elements are informed by Shives’ printmaking practice, as are the textures and areas of relief on the paintings. At times shapes frame or obscure the landscape, other times lines float on the surface of the paintings. They also serve as a reference to topography, leading us like a trail through a forest, offering us multiple perspectives of the landscape simultaneously." -- Publisher's website.
