In this series of landscape paintings, Frantz Lexy explores man’s attempt to assert control on the planet versus the mysterious will of geological forces. From small ripples of oceanic waves, to the movement of fleeting clouds , the cracks on the surface of a mountain rock, or the shape of massive landforms seen at a distance, his work emphasize the scale of the Earth and our role in shaping it. The use of marble based acrylic medium and resin to compose these pieces, brings three dimensionality into the work and remind us of the effects of tactile interaction with nature on the human spirit. Though the images are born out of imagination, they carefully reference the abstract patterns found throughout nature, resulting in scenes that move freely between abstraction and photorealism.
