Philip Braham | Prescient Nature
Season 1, Ep. 2
•
Philip Braham’s title Prescient Nature speaks to the ecology of the future, how an icy forest, or landscape billowed in snow, or the reflection of winter trees in still water are not raw materials available for man’s disposal, but closer to the philosophy of Martin Heidegger’s realm of sky, earth, mortal and divine with the artist an agent in aletheia, the disclosure of truth. Braham makes beautiful paintings, beauty, a human perception, all the more poignant given its fragility. - Guy Peploe
