Steep Coast Line 1996

Eyvind Earle’s “Steep Coast Line” is a 1996 artwork that embodies the artist's unique and captivating style. The painting depicts a dramatic, almost surreal, coastal landscape with a sharp cliff rising up from a misty sea. Lush foliage, rendered in vibrant greens, purples, and blues, covers the cliff face, while a lone, skeletal tree frames the scene. The work evokes a sense of isolation and wonder, characteristic of Earle’s art, often described as "magical realism" and "surreal landscape". Earle, known for his animation work for Disney, brought his signature style to his fine art, focusing on nature and the beauty of the natural world with an ethereal touch.
