Dieter Schlatter (1958–2020) - Red Landscape #2

Dieter Schlatter (1958–2020) – Red Landscape #2, ca. 2008

Original painting by the Swiss-born Canadian artist Dieter Schlatter (1958–2020). Red Landscape #2 is executed in acrylic on canvas and has a size of 48 × 48 inches (121.9 × 121.9 cm).

The work is an expressive and powerfully built landscape, in which deep red, black, white, and earth tones are combined with dynamic brushstrokes, strong lines and a pronounced sense of depth and movement. The depiction sits on the boundary between figurative landscape art and abstract expressionism and is characteristic of Schlatter's expressive and layered painting style.

Dieter Schlatter was a self-taught artist who painted professionally from 1990 and worked full-time as an artist since 1998. His painting was strongly influenced by his background in photography. In his work, he explored among other things landscape, history, human presence, and the influence of technology and industrialization on the environment. His works were exhibited and sold, among others through Canada House Gallery in Banff, Canada.
