In the late 19th century,Impressionismblossomed under the talents of ClaudeMonetand Pierre Auguste-Renoir.
Since then, it has inspired many variations and successors, including theOpen-Impressionist style.
Led by artistErin Hanson, this modern adaptation relies on impasto paint strokes without layering.
She demonstrates the beauty of this style by rendering a variety of kaleidoscopic landscapes.
Hanson gives every element a life of its own by applying bold swatches of color to the canvas.
These brushstrokes appear to infuse each element with rhythm like they are moving before our eyes.
These juxtapositions are enhanced by the rich textures imbued in the thick daubs of paint.
