LINE PAINTINGS

Langlands’ signature, Earth-inspired LINE PAINTINGS are formal studies that consider the weight, vitality, and force exerted by abstract landscapes, especially their capacity to organize the space in their surroundings. 

The painting series draws from Langlands’ ongoing research into desire paths, minimalist and duotone color palettes, simultaneous contrast, human-made habitats, and repetition-based design principles. 

Tracing the transfer of energy from the hand to the canvas and then the eye of the viewer, the paintings are adjectival descriptions of motion and direction made manifest through saturated color fields which give form to otherwise unnamable feelings and sensations.
