Inspired by the atmospheric sensibilities of Swiss artist Hans Emmenegger, Wáldinneres transforms a nocturnal forest into an almost abstract theatre of light and shadow. Vertical shafts of golden illumination pierce the darkness in the dying moments of an afternoon, their glow diffused across the forest floor like fleeting brushstrokes of warmth amid encroaching obscurity. The scene shifts between representation and suggestion: trees become luminous forms, and darkness becomes a living presence. The composition evokes both mystery and revelation, inviting the viewer to linger in its ambiguous stillness. Through subtle gradations of tone and a restrained palette, the work examines the uncanny quiet of the woods at night, where natural and metaphysical realms seem to converge. Wáldinneres transcends the boundaries of landscape painting, becoming a quiet exploration of solitude and wonder – a vision of the forest not simply as a setting, but as a state of mind illuminated from within.

Ewan Story

London-born, Ewan had a long career in advertising as an art director, a writer and a creative director before he decided to concentrate exclusively on his contemporary art practice several years ago. Ewan is the winner of several prestigious art prizes, the latest of which saw his work feature in 100 Emerging Artworks 2025, a global art award from the Arts to Hearts Project. He is also in line to win a prize as a Finalist/Honourable at the Almenara Art Prize, another international and widely recognised award. He is currently in the midst of a postgraduate MA in Fine Art at Falmouth University, and embracing new potential directions, collaborations and further possibilities to develop his practice.
