Viewed from a small plane, the Southern Alps of Aotearoa New Zealand unfold as a dramatic spine of ice and stone. Jagged Crest captures the serrated ridge lines and steep alpine faces that define this remote landscape, where snow clings to dark rock in sharp, rhythmic patterns. The elevated viewpoint flattens distance and scale, allowing texture and contrast to dominate - cool blues and whites broken by deep shadowed crevices. Bold, impasto brushwork mirrors the fractured geology of the mountains, conveying both their raw power and stark beauty. This work invites the viewer into a fleeting, privileged moment above the peaks, where the land feels vast, untamed and intensely alive.
Oil painting of the Jagged Crest of the New Zealand Southern Alps on stretched canvas in a wooden frame. Ready to hang.
Framed Dimensions: 32cm (W) x 32cm (H) x 4.6cm (D)
