Bozhena Fuchs | The Slumbering Peak

Bozhena Fuchs (b. 1987)
The Slumbering Peak
Original oil painting

The Slumbering Peak is the defining work in Bozhena Fuchs' mountain series — a painting that captures the specific quality of a summit at rest, its dormancy suggesting not absence of force but force temporarily stilled. The word slumbering is precise: the mountain is not dead or inert but sleeping, its full power present beneath the calm of the surface, the geological energy of millions of years of formation resting before the next expression.

Fuchs — born in Prague in 1987, working with intense brushstrokes and physical mark-making to capture the vitality and energy of the natural world — brings to this subject the formal commitment that characterises her best landscape work. Her paintings are not records of how mountains look but attempts to capture what they are. Available through Creed Gallery, Ascot, for collectors in Windsor, Berkshire, Surrey, and London.
