M. W. Turner.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTurner worked from the late eighteenth century into the middle of the nineteenth century, yet many of his paintings appear remarkably modern. His handling of light, atmosphere and dissolving form often seems to anticipate Impressionism and abstraction. In my estimation, Turner was one of the earliest modern Impressionist painters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI felt an immediate connection with Turner when I encountered the first artwork in this collection. Many of his works were shaped by the sea, rivers, storms and changing atmospheric conditions. My own work is also grounded in water—created through the reflections and illusions I encounter while kayaking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWorking at water level gives me an unusual perspective. Light moves across the surface, while the colours and forms of vessels become fragmented and transformed. For a brief moment, these elements can create the illusion of an entirely new landscape: one that exists somewhere between observation and imagination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eImpressions of a Turner Landscape 9\u003c\/em\u003e emerged from one of those moments. Its luminous yellow field, shifting lines and darker horizontal forms suggest an atmospheric landscape, although nothing in the artwork is quite what it first appears to be.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike the other works in the collection, it invites the viewer to decide what they are seeing. The interpretation may change each time the artwork is revisited.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCreated on the Water\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eRalph Kerle creates his abstract artworks from real reflections found on the surface of water. Working from a kayak at water level, he photographs the constantly changing interaction of light, colour, movement and reflected forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe compositions are discovered rather than constructed. There is no compositing of separate images: the abstraction exists momentarily on the surface of the water and is captured through timing, position and movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis process has developed into a distinctive body of work in which the camera becomes less a documentary instrument and more a way of painting with reflected light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat Collectors Say\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“It fits the space perfectly and I am ecstatic with the outcome.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaskia Waters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“Ralph was so helpful and there were no issues.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRosie Houghton\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003ch2\u003eArtwork Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTitle\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eImpressions of a Turner Landscape 9\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e200 × 100 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLimited Edition of 5\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCurrent availability\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEdition 1 of 5\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGiclée fine art print\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaper\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHahnemühle German Etching Rag 310 gsm\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthenticity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSigned and supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLimited Edition\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eImpressions of a Turner Landscape 9\u003c\/em\u003e is released in an edition of five.
