Farm Channel 1996

"Farm Channel" is a 1996 painting by Wayne Thiebaud, known for his iconic depictions of everyday subjects. The piece showcases his signature style with a bold, graphic approach to landscape, characterized by simplified forms and vibrant colors. The composition, seemingly from an aerial perspective, features a winding river channel slicing through fields of various hues, with the reflection of trees and sky on the water’s surface adding depth and texture. This characteristically Thiebaud-esque interplay of abstraction and realism captivates viewers with its dynamic energy and vivid portrayal of the American landscape.
