The artwork titled “Oaks in Green” by Erin Hanson is an oil painting that embodies the Expressionism art movement. The dimensions of the piece are 76.2 by 101.6 centimeters, and it falls within the genre of landscape painting.
The artwork vividly captures the essence of nature through its depiction of oak trees. The foreground is dominated by verdant hues and bold, expressive strokes, characteristic of Expressionism. Rich greens intermingle with patches of blues and purples, bringing an almost dreamlike quality to the scene. The trees, with their twisting branches and dappled foliage, create a dynamic and lively composition. The use of impasto technique, with thick layers of paint, adds texture and depth, enhancing the tangible feel of the leaves and grass. The vibrant colors and energetic brushwork invite the viewer to immerse themselves in the serene yet invigorating beauty of the oaks in their lush environment.
