Landscapes are one of the most popular genres of art on our platform. We’ve curated a collection especially for landscape lovers, showcasing an assortment of paintings, prints and photographys. Browse our landscapes and explore original artworks hand-selected by our curators. Landscape Paintings Early landscapes tended to be based on imaginary places and very few paintings depicted actual landscapes. It was not until the introduction of ready-mixed oil paints in the 1870s that en plein air painting became widely practised and actual landscapes were used. The Legacy of the Landscape In addition to the traditional landscape, there are various other forms of ‘-scape’ which depict different scenes, for instance: cityscapes, seascapes, hardscapes – paved over areas such as streets and sidewalks, aerial landscapes which depict landscapes from above and inscapes – artworks which seek to convey the psychoanalytical view of the mind as a three-dimensional space.

Based on the colour wheel, colour theory explains the distinction between primary, secondary and tertiary colours. Colour theory dates back thousands of years to Classical times. It can be used to identify warm colours, cool colours, which colours complement each other, and which don’t.

Abstract and Patterned Art Patterns have existed in paintings and sculpture for hundreds of years, but it has only been in more recent times that patterned motifs have formed the subject of artworks. From Esher’s graphic mathematical woodcuts, to Yayoi Kusama’s abstract installations and Damien Hirst’s spot paintings, patterns have become a key feature in contemporary art. Featured Artists Kevin Jackson makes mixed media paintings that explore our relationship with an increasingly digital world. His geometric abstract style responds to elements of the virtual world. Sabrina Brouwers follows the principles of contemporary design when forming her abstract paintings. Her works have a distinct mathematical feel to them, as they consist of circular shapes and outlines layered amongst one another.
