“Landscape in art is a legitimate category or genre, but it’s also a construct,” Evans says. “When an artist is working with landscape, whether with concrete or abstracted imagery, or when used to depict inner states of mind or emotion, the viewer becomes part of the work and integral to the exploration of what’s being depicted or constructed.”
