In "Alien Landscape 3", Daniel Ketelhut explores the early stages of the "Karma and Rebirth" cycle, utilizing a more muted and neutral palette. Dominated by earthy ochres and soft tans, the composition is subtly punctuated by cooler teals and deep magentas, illustrating the "interconnectedness" of prior causes and new layers. The work embodies the Buddhist doctrine of "dependent origination", as numerous glazed layers allow chaotic, ghostly shapes from previous iterations to inform the current surface. Dramatic "dripping paint" and delicate, suspended biomorphic forms convey a profound sense of flux and movement. By surrendering to the painting’s evolving demands, Ketelhut creates a complex, subconscious realm that invites viewers to interpret reality as a construct of their own imagination. *** Please note: This listing price is slightly higher to cover the cost of packing******
