GILL BUSTAMANTE | Oil | 102x102 cm • 40x40 in

Summer Riot


Summer Riot is a large, square semi-abstract landscape painting capturing the vibrant energy of a hare in a wild summer meadow. This piece bursts with life, showcasing the sheer enthusiasm with which nature expresses itself in even the smallest corner of a summer field. The wildflowers, abstract yet evocative, suggest buttercups, clover, and an array of grasses, creating a riotous explosion of colour and movement.

The hare, hiding to the right of the centre of the vibrant chaos, appears a little confused by it all, adding a touch of whimsy to the scene. The blurred edges and varied paint thickness contribute to the dynamic, almost frenetic energy of the painting, amplifying the sense of nature’s uncontainable vitality.

Inspired by a recent walk near the South Downs, where the farmland is breathtaking and the meadow corners are endlessly captivating, this piece channels the artist's personal experience of encountering the wild beauty of nature. While the hare may not have posed quite as this one did, the artist’s playful use of artistic license brings the scene to life, offering a glimpse into a moment of pure, unfiltered joy in the natural world.

Artist’s Vision

gill bustamante

Gill is a British visual artist who creates semi-abstract landscapes that transcend mere representation, capturing the soul of a place rather than just its physical form. Inspired by her walks through nature, she absorbs the sights, scents, and energy of the landscape, later distilling these impressions from memory onto canvas. This intuitive approach allows her to preserve the most vivid and emotive elements, evoking the essence of a season or terrain. Birds and wildlife often emerge within her compositions, infusing her work with movement, life, and a deep connection to the natural world.
