White Rock 

Eyvind Earle made *White Rock* using paint applied to a smooth surface. In contrast to the landscape he depicted, his approach to painting was far from wild or spontaneous. Earle's distinctive style relies on the controlled application of paint, building up precise layers to create smooth, flat surfaces. He achieved this through a highly disciplined process, and the finished painting has the quality of something mass-produced, rather than the result of an artist’s touch. In this sense, Earle’s artistic labor aligns with the precision demanded by industrial production. It is a painstaking process, denying the gestural expressiveness traditionally valued in painting. This approach elevates the importance of technical skill and precision, challenging traditional notions of artistic genius. By emphasizing process and technique, Earle blurs the boundaries between fine art and the more calculated world of design.
