These newest paintings are the most refined issuing from David Rycroft's innovative technique. The sweeping layers of oil colour evoke a naturalness that is at once serene and dynamic.

Yet, as with Zen calligraphy, these are not simply external 'landscapes', but results of the artist's meditative engagement with traditional materials in a wholly fresh way.
