A fresh and contemporary take on the Kawarau Gorge, balancing a recognisable landscape with expressive, painterly style. The river’s distinctive blue draws the eye immediately, clear, luminous, and beautifully contrasted against the surrounding forms. Wilson elevates the scene with unexpected colour, vibrant greens in the foreground while soft hints of lavender move through the hills, adding depth and individuality. Both atmospheric and distinctive, this work stands out for its colour and mood that brings a sense of Central Otago’s landscape into a space.
