The Heart of Africa is a stirring landscape of one of the world's most beautiful and wild places. The viewers of this piece will suddenly feel that they have been transported to very nearly another world as they gaze across the savanna at distant mountains and a blazing sunset. Central to The Heart of Africa is the figures of elephants wandering across the horizon, casting hulking shadows on the dusty ground, rising above these majestic figures are several trees that lean into the pink colors of the sky and against the dark, lingering presence of the mountains that curve gracefully in the background. This painting depicts the most pleasing of landscapes- one that is soft around the edges, brimming with life, yet extremely soothing to look at. The scene is one that settles the soul, as much as it can ever be settled. The painting has an overwhelming sense of atmosphere and peace, and thus, The Heart of Africa will make a charming and consoling addition to any room regardless of its purpose- from a dining area to a living space, this painting will not fail to create make its presence meaningful.
While the subject of The Heart of Africa is a very straightforward (while still compelling) landscape, the layout of the piece is extremely interesting and will throughly engage fans of modernist art. This painting is spread out across five separate canvas panels, The panels vary in size, starting quite small at the fringes of the piece, and building to great length near the center, before diminishing again on the opposite side. This composition allows the eye to smoothly move across the terrain presented in The Heart of Africa, as well as allows the viewer to re-envision the scenery through a more modern lens. Not only does the design of this painting lend it a modern flair, but it increases the possibilities to explore this original canvas painting. Due to the separate pieces of The Heart of Africa, it can be hung (and thus experienced) in many different ways, creating an ever changing, ever interesting visual experience. If you would like to find more paintings that depict traditional scenes from the cradle of life, you may want to explore our African Canvas gallery, a painting you may also enjoy if you like The Heart of Africa is Fading Light, a painting that shares many of the same hues and sentiments as this painting.
