The Devouring Territory brings together nine artists bound by an attachment to painting in plein air. While the selected works are primarily studio pieces, they are shaped by sustained encounters with the landscape. Rather than direct transcriptions, these images emerge secondhand—digested, remembered, and renegotiated. Nature often appears not as a fixed subject but as something absorbed and reconstituted through time, sensation, and the interior space of the studio.The work ultimately considers landscape not as scenery, but as an active force that consumes, transforms, and continues moving through us.
