Landscapes are one of the oldest traditions in art. They speak to our relationship with nature – captivated but slightly withheld – as well as the artistic challenge of capturing the changing of light and climate. Meditative, inspiring and refreshing, to gaze upon a landscape is to allow yourself a mental vacation.

The only Australian born member of the Royal Watercolour Society, Kenneth Jack is among Australia’s most significant landscape artists. In ‘Rough Sea, Port Campbell, VIC’, the artist has captured the serene environment of rural Australia. Beautiful but dangerously strong, the ocean is iconic to the island country. With dark clouds ahead, the boats in the port hold fast to the rough sea, evoking the determination of Australians in surviving the extreme environments they occupy.

Jack is a renowned artist nationally and internationally, with works in collections such as the Royal Collection at Windsor, Victoria and Albert museum, National Gallery of Australia and the Australian War Memorial. For lovers of watercolours or emotive landscapes, ‘Rough Sea, Port Campbell, VIC’ is a delightful discovery.
