Silence Is Goldne by Ben Jeffery

Glimmering, restless sands of transient change reflect the visual nourishment of the gathering clouds that build and stretch towards the all-enveloping horizon to afford this latest Ben Jeffrey study a perfectly weighted balance.

As panoramic vistas go they don’t get any broader than this positively widescreen ensemble from one of the UK’s leading lights in the genre of contemporary landscapes, and the familiar introduction of both seagulls overhead and a couple observed in the centre-ground, beachcombing, gives Jeffrey’s study a peerless perspective.

The fluidity and sense and anticipation of an ever-changing canvas, imagined when poring over the composition adds further credence and is suggestive of an almost living, breathing entity, rather than simply a finished, unmoving visual article.
