For many years landscape, our connection to place and how we think about the genre of landscape painting has been the subject of my work. Amanda van Gils’ paintings of landscapes are as interested in the idea of bringing beauty into being as considering ideas about how landscape is experienced today in this fast paced world.

For many of us, the experience of landscape is often filtered through the tightly shut windows of fast cars with iPods blaring, navigation systems guiding and climate controlled air-conditioning adjusting the temperature. The gap between the land and our experience of it growing ever larger. Amanda van Gils’ motion landscapes look to reflect the move away from the historically still images so often associated with landscape painting.
