An oil painting on card, ‘Summer Moon Rising’ is an impressionistic rendering of the Australian landscape. Its creator, John Lacey, is a self taught artist whose work drifts between place and abstraction, allowing viewers to summon their own interpretations.

Pursuing the feeling of a place, rather than its exactitudes, Lacey’s dreamlike scenes are rich with expression. Deepened by indigo light, ‘Summer Moon Rising’ evokes the cooling of a summer’s day into twilight.

Stationed at his studio and home on Mt Compass, Lacey’s work is widely beloved. He is the winner of numerous art awards, inspiring viewers with his immersive landscapes.
