About this artwork

The artist painted this pair of works in May when it rained nearly the entire month. The craving for a change, prompted the focus on warm sunny yellows and oranges. The aim was to cheer, to create a good weather mood. The blues and greys suggest the cold wet threatening to return, hence the title - A Brief Clearing.

Naturally the viewer brings their own associations to the work, so they might well see other things. That is as it should be - it… is an expressive, moody yet spacious work with lots of fine subtlety which will keep you discovering details for year to come.

It is on gessoed artist-quality paper, professionally mounted and framed in a bespoke waxed pale wood shadow frame. The work is signed on the back and treated with matt varnish.

« My works are reduced inner landscapes that invite the viewer to interpret the mood or atmosphere, whether calm, meditative, melancholy, playful, or joyous. »

Alethea Eriksson is a South African–Swiss artist based in Baden, Switzerland. Her lyrical expressionist paintings have been presented in both solo and group exhibitions across Switzerland, as well as at art fairs in Britain and Germany.
She describes her abstract landscapes—what she calls “soulscapes”—as a form of visual poetry, expressing the sense of renewal and wellbeing she experiences in nature. Her work explores the mood and energy of landscapes, skies, the sea, and her own garden, while also engaging deeply with color, line, and form.
Inspired by masters such as Monet and Cézanne, alongside Abstract Expressionists like Joan Mitchell and Cy Twombly, Eriksson creates compositions that invite the viewer to feel moved, uplifted, and immersed in a contemplative emotional space.
Alethea Eriksson is a member of the Swiss Association of Women Artists.
