[Gallipoli landscape]
Description
Gallipoli landscape in hues of brown, black and blue. The hues of the landscape mute the feel of the work and the scraping into the work in the central area of the work turn the landscape of Gallipoli into a murky twilight which conveys the sense of despair, loss of life and horrors inflicted in this landscape.
