Invented Seascapes

[This work is meant to be viewed large. Very large.]

One of the most interesting art books I have purchased recently is Tula Telfair's "Invented Landscapes" (Abrams, 2016).
www.tulatelfair.com/

Telfair was raised in Gabon, Africa, and then traveled with her family to Asia and Europe before moving to the United States of America. She is currently a professor of art at Wesleyan University, and her work is gaining widespread recognition.

Her painting is very photographic. So much so that the bookshop where I bought the book had placed it in their photography section. The amazing thing though, is that every landscape comes directly from her memories and imaginative reconstruction. She never paints from actual scenes. As Henry Adams puts it in the introduction to her book, "One might think of Telfair as a novelist in paint." I heartily recommend her work.

The only link between my collage of Greens Beach seascapes and Telfair is that I have borrowed her idea of placing panoramic images in parallel. Here's an example:
