A richly textured abstract mixed-media painting by British artist John Worth. Measuring 100 × 100 cm, this square-format indigo coloured canvas includes layers of chalky whites, muted reds, and earthy greens over a deeply worked surface shaped through scraping, sanding, and the repeated building and erasure of materials. Five horizontal bands reference the lines of a musical stave, connecting the rhythmic patterns of the South Downs landscape with the musicality that underpins Worth’s studio process.
Evoking weathered surfaces, time-worn patina, and fragments of memory, Prelude #7 reflects the artist’s daily walks through the hills surrounding Lewes, UK. The painting captures subtle shifts of light, texture, and season, blending lyrical abstraction with an intimate response to place. Finished with a tactile surface that invites close viewing, this piece forms part of the ongoing Prelude series exploring rhythm, land, identity, and trace.
Medium: Mixed media with layered canvas on stretched canvas
Dimensions: 100 × 100 cm
Series: Prelude
Finish: Wax varnish to enhance tactility
