Before I first encountered the work of painter Richard Mayhew, I never quite understood the notion that large-scale color field paintings operate as a form of landscape. Clearly, Mayhew incorporates the rhapsody and the elusiveness of abstraction while utilizing layered colors and light to recreate horizon lines and natural forms. You can check out more of Mayhew's work at G.R. N'Namdi Gallery in Chicago.
