'De Mond, Arniston' - Phyllida Louw

Dimensions: 60 x 80 cm (24 x 31.5 in)

Medium: Oil on linen

Revealing an expansive seascape that explores light, space, and solitude, 'De Mond, Arniston' is a striking original oil painting by the contemporary South African artist Phyllida Louw. This large-scale piece captures the vast, ephemeral beauty of the beachscape near Arniston.

The generous horizontal canvas measures 60 cm (Height) x 80 cm (Width). The composition is highly atmospheric and evocative, dominated by a broad expanse of sandy beach that leads the eye directly into a distant, diffused horizon. The top half is consumed by a luminous sky, where dark, turbulent clouds in grey and indigo break to reveal a central burst of soft, ethereal light, which casts a warm glow over the entire scene.

The low horizon line is marked by a sliver of the sea, where cool blue tones contrast with the warm ochres and browns of the sand. Two small, distant figures walk toward the right, providing a sense of scale and intimate narrative against the immensity of the landscape. Louw masterfully uses the oil on linen medium with expressive, tonal blending to translate the quiet majesty of the Agulhas coastline. This compelling Phyllida Louw painting is a premier example of South African contemporary art and tonal landscape painting, perfect for collectors of atmospheric art who appreciate serene, expressive coastal vistas.
