"Discord" - Original Oil Painting
Product Description
Discord is an original oil painting by Helen Alice Johnson, inspired by the Church of the Paraclete at Kirkhaugh, Cumbria. This painting is part of the artist’s early 2024 works, exploring the concept of the Space In Between—the atmospheric and often elusive space between land and sky. Painted en plein air on a stormy yet intermittently sunny day, the piece reflects the unpredictable and dramatic weather that shaped its creation. The location, just outside the church on the road, offered a powerful view of nature’s contrast, mirrored in the dynamic composition of the painting.
Using fluorescent acrylic, oil, and layered textures, the artwork conveys the energetic tension between opposing forces, both in the sky and on the ground. The result is a vibrant abstract landscape that explores themes of nature, spirituality, and the unseen connections between elements.
