During the last couple of years, however, Houseago has started painting, with liberatory results. \u003ci\u003eVision Paintings\u003c\/i\u003e charts his recent foray into the medium, presenting a wide selection of both figurative and abstract artworks created between 2020 and 2022. The book features various large-scale series (including the \u003ci\u003eVision Paintings, California Love Songs\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eVortex Paintings\u003c\/i\u003e). Thematically, Houseago is drawn to nature, drawing on landscapes in Malibu, Big Sur and Yosemite for evocations of cosmic unity and the cycle of life. The volume--the first entirely dedicated to his paintings--is punctuated by close-ups, citations, pages from the artist's journals and writing by the musician Nick Cave.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 14.2 x 11 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 11, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51765341847840,"sku":"9782373721539","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/f85b03ced6a6d1dde7b38ceb351721c9.webp?v=1780266499","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/thomas-houseago-vision-paintings-hardcover","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
