'Goldfields landscape Campbell's Creek' Mark Dober 2022

An intimate and solitary world is revealed in this new body of landscape painting in oil and watercolour. In these paintings, one does not survey a scene or take in a view; instead, we are outnumbered - alone amongst a plethora of organic forms. A physicality is embodied in these works, painted entirely plein air in the Castlemaine area, Victoria.
Mark Dober's interpretation of landscape continues to respond to more than mere location.

Before it can ever be a repose for the senses, landscape is the work of the mind. Its scenery is built up as much from strata of memory as from layers of rock, Simon Schama
