In Skylark, Ruth Franklin explores the passage of time and the elemental relationship between earth and sky. The painting draws inspiration from Virgil's Georgics, the ancient Roman poem reflecting on nature, the seasons, and humanity's relationship with the land.
Franklin describes the work as an exploration of “time and elemental slabs of earth and sky.” Through her intuitive approach to painting, she transforms these ideas into an expressive landscape that moves between representation and abstraction.
