Rebecca Allan's paintings engage with art historical traditions of landscape and abstraction, highlighting humanity's complex relationship with the natural world. Beginning with sketches on location, Allan completes the paintings in her studio, holding a tension between observational representation and the utopia of abstraction.

A chance encounter with the house of British poet John Keats resulted in this rendering in the blues, greens, and traces of yellow of the dusk hour. The final residence of Keats in England before he traveled to Italy, where he died, Allan shows the house nestled in a lush garden.
