This ethereal abstract landscape showcases Foord's masterful command of color and atmosphere. The artwork captures the mystical Northern Lights rendered in luminous greens and deep teals, with shafts of celestial light piercing through the dramatic sky to illuminate the terrain below.
 
Drawing from his fascination with outer space and exploration, Foord's distinctive style is evident in his fluid handling of paint and understanding of atmospheric phenomena. Each dynamic stroke contributes to the painting's sense of otherworldly beauty, creating a piece that perfectly captures the magic of the aurora borealis through his characteristic emphasis on light and cosmic energy.
 
About The Artist
Craig John Foord (b. 1986, Brighton) brings a unique perspective to contemporary art by combining his experience as a tree surgeon with his artistic practice. After completing his National Diploma in Art and Design at Eastbourne College, Foord developed a distinctive approach to sculpture, uniquely employing chainsaw techniques to shape resin works before refining them to elemental perfection.
 
His artistic vision spans both sculpture and painting, with recent work exploring abstract themes inspired by his fascination with outer space and planetary exploration. This dual mastery of three-dimensional and two-dimensional mediums showcases his versatility and innovative approach to contemporary art.
