Hogback
Hogback
By Whitman Lindstrom
Hogback is a vibrant and intimate 8 x 10 inch gouache painting on panel by Boulder-based artist Whitman Lindstrom. This piece offers a condensed, high-energy interpretation of the Colorado foothills, distilling the rugged geology of the Front Range into a rhythmic arrangement of bold color and sharp, graphic forms.
Utilizing the matte, opaque quality of gouache, Lindstrom creates a landscape that feels both grounded and electric. The composition is defined by a striking use of neon pink and orange "halos" that trace the silhouettes of the mountains and trees, capturing the intense, vibrating light of a high-altitude afternoon. The sun-drenched golden field in the foreground provides a warm contrast to the deep purples and blues of the ridgeline, resulting in a work that is both a modern landscape study and a celebration of pure color.
