The landscape has always provided artists with an infinite range of choices for personal expression, whether it be the depiction of a holy place or the carnage of a battlefield. The ten artists selected for OASES each bring a different interpretation to the landscape. Yannick Demmerle invites the viewer to feel lost within the rich details of an endless autumn forest; William Eggleston records a detail of golden sand scarred by a tire track, and punctuated by weeds; Larry Burrows, shooting from a helicopter, reveals a group of helpless Vietcong prisoners being marched across water-filled rice paddies; Mark Mann creates an urban oasis in which a family seeks safety in the median of grass between lanes of a highway; Uta Kogelsberger reveals a nighttime scene in which a barren house offers comfort within the darkness of a subterranean land; and Lennart Durehed captures an industrial scene bathed in both sun and rain simultaneously.
