Piece description from the artist
This painting is part of a suite of paintings I started in 2020 called the Montauk Avenue Suite. I worked on this series all through quarantine. The paintings in this series are meditations on the outdoors at night— an attempt to capture the other-worldly atmosphere of close-ups of nature in the darkness. Many of the source photographs were taken with a 1950s-era Yashica C medium format camera, and all use a muted color scheme of greens, blues and pinks.
LJ Lindhurst is a self-taught realist painter who was born in Antonia, Missouri, and currently lives in Brooklyn, New York.
