Car in a Highway Bend

1978, oil on canvas, 81x100 cm (with frame 83,5x102,5x3,5 cm) /// Valdis Bušs (1924–2014) is one of the most prominent and expressive Latvian landscape painters, celebrated for his rich use of colour and distinctive, dynamic approach. His panoramic composition “Car on a Highway Bend” is a true masterpiece of colour expression, remarkable for its energy and vibrancy. The pure yellow tones fill the space with light and imbue the work with vitality and intensity. The viewer is captivated by the interplay of contrasting colours and a diverse and expressive arrangement of brushstrokes. This painting is also a striking example of Bušs’ stylistic signature, characteristic of his work in the late 1970s. The artwork is reproduced in the e-book “On the Bright Side of Life. Valdis Bušs” and in both the e-book and physical book “Krāsa un gaisma. Valdis Bušs” authored by Līga Baņķiere and Ieva Trillo, published by LLC Art Platz, Riga, 2024. /// The artist’s signature and dating are located on the lower left.
