Philippe Le Miere’s digitally rendered landscapes were born as free-form sketches, drawn on the computer. They then grew into 3D computer generated models, virtual worlds Le Miere could roam, finding the perspective which would form his work of art.

‘Three Trees’ is not a real place – coordinates you can swivel but can’t locate. It is perhaps inspired by the surroundings of Mornington Peninsula where the artist grew up, as well as the history of landscape painting, the genre upon which Australian art was established. Early landscape art in Australia was often devoid of people, idealisations of places that evoked a mood, idea or aspiration.

There is indeed a mood to ‘Three Trees’. Captured in a pixelated mist, this work slips between real and virtual the way places in your dreams feel simultaneously strange and immediate. For collectors of contemporary landscapes and new media art, ‘Three Trees’ offers a new perspective.
