Artist Scott Naismith Paints Psychedelic Landscapes Reminiscent of Dreams
Artist Scott Naismith has produced a series of beautiful landscape paintings on canvas with show a brilliant use of colours and textures to create the illusion of a dream. The artist has used a liberal palette to depict the glorious sunsets and marvels of nature, yet reserving the use of colours filtered through the sky. He mirrors the tones and brush stroke styles from the sky onto the ground, which creates harmony in a chaos of hues and how light can play different roles in a landscape to reflect, dilute and create a mystical site.
Naismith relies on layering and colors instead of clearly defined forms in his imaginative landscapes – diluted pastel colors with a blurred stroke create a hazy effect while bold, textured and bright colors bring elements of the sky and ground to focus. The environment is vague which transforms into an alluring play of radiant tones, where the artist intelligently transforms his art into magical portals.
