The artwork titled “Sky Reach” was created by the artist Eyvind Earle in the year 2000 in the United States. It is associated with the Magic Realism art movement and falls under the genre of landscape.
The artwork presents a striking, elongated composition dominated by a massive tree trunk that stretches vertically across the image. The trunk’s deep greens are interlaced with black shadows and highlighted by vibrant reds and touches of light green, suggesting the presence of leaves or flowers. The texture is both rough and detailed, with clear attention to the bark’s patterns. Surrounding the tree, we see a backdrop of sky-blue with circular forms that could be interpreted as faraway hills or treetops, abstracted to give a sense of depth and distance. The sky itself shifts from a soft lighter hue at the bottom to a darker shade at the top, directing the viewer’s gaze upwards along with the reach of the tree. The overall effect is at once realistic and stylized, evoking the grandeur and surreal quality of nature.
