OLIVER AKERS DOUGLAS - Paintings of Klosters and Beyond

We are delighted to announce the third major exhibition of alpine paintings by Oliver Akers Douglas.
The exhibition comprises around 40 new works with motifs from the Klosters-Davos region in
Switzerland, but also from the Jungfrau region near Grindelwald. The works convey the
exhilarating feeling of being in the mountains and show a variety of glamorous scenes,
painted in both summer and winter and often executed on location - either in hiking boots or ski boots.

"I love the feeling of being alone in such colossal landscapes, and I like both the physical
both the physical and mental challenge of creating art in such uncompromising conditions. Nothing can ever
prepare you for the visual onslaught of the Alpine landscape. It is always surprising, always
unpredictable. It turns all the usual notions of size, composition and color completely upside down."

The paintings depict peaks, rivers, lakes, ski resorts, hiking trails, cattle and several glaciers.
They sparkle with energy and excitement and show the unmistakable dynamism of his brushwork
and color palette. His depiction of the complex subject of snow is particularly successful.

Oliver, who is best known as a painter of British landscapes, has been working in the Swiss Alps for over
20 years in the Swiss Alps. He is fascinated by the long and romantic tradition of British artists traveling there since the 18th century.
Although his technique is strikingly contemporary, this heritage nevertheless informs
nevertheless informs his work. His paintings are widely distributed and can be found in public, private, corporate and royal collections,
