Steve Porter

In Chalke Valley, Steve Porter captures the essence of a serene yet dramatic rural landscape through his distinctive technique of free-flowing, overlapping lines. The drawing evokes a palpable tension between calm and chaos, as the dense, swirling marks dominate the sky, creating heavy, brooding clouds that hang low over the valley. These tumultuous forms contrast with the more structured yet still dynamic lines of the foreground, where a field of grass leads the viewer’s eye towards a distant, rolling landscape.

Porter’s work is an exploration of movement and texture, as the seemingly chaotic marks resolve into familiar shapes—storm clouds, trees, and the undulating land. The contrast between the dark, energetic sky and the softer, textured fields beneath suggests an impending change, as if nature itself is alive, breathing and shifting before our eyes.The drawing invites contemplation of the delicate balance in natural landscapes, where beauty and unpredictability coexist. Through Chalke Valley, Porter creates an atmosphere of vitality, encouraging viewers to observe the tension between the wildness of the sky and the stillness of the land, highlighting the eternal dialogue between earth and sky.
