Artistic Position
Arny Schmit’s landscapes exist between close observation of nature and imagination. Forests, plants and organic forms emerge within condensed, often monochrome pictorial spaces. Rather than idealised landscapes, they become reflections on growth, transience and recurrence.
Schmit combines painting with cardboard, collage like structures and LED light. Natural and artificial materials are deliberately placed in opposition. Image, object and space interact to transform nature from a motif into a cultural and material field of tension.
