Danielle Orchard moves from dusk to dawn in a radiant vision of contemplation.
In A Warm Garden, Orchard places a pensive female figure amidst nature – in a place where the sun sets and rises simultaneously. Painted in a warm palette awash with lucent yellow hues, the subject’s bare skin appears to glow in the layered sunlight. Complete with the angular features, separated into geometric planes, which define Orchard’s approach to portraiture, the woman wields a timeless demeanour that a viewer may expect to encounter in a classical painting or bust.
