Additional text
'Written with clarity, care and precision, this monograph is hugely welcome. It is the first to give in-depth attention to an artist whose eloquent touch has revitalized painting in a moment when our perception of landscape and our attachment to a sense of place grows ever more complex in light of transnational migrations and the fragile ecology of our planet.'
