Spaciality. Sometimes we use the word style or creativity to broadly define our understanding of categories, in the context of defining various differences between artworks and the idiosyncrasies of different artists.
The Idiosyncratic 'spaciality' of it all in relation to "Between two Points" and other aspects of the Australian land mass. "Between Two Points" is from the Porters paint series, by Paul McVeigh.
There is no ambitious technique, it is unsophisticated, a painting constructed from its singularity and compositional analogues.

As Plato and Aristotle summarised...Artists provide us with a view of nature and the world and is a poor relative to the real thing. Renaissance, "trompe d'ceil", the trick of the eye, illusion of fixed points of reference, give us the pivots on which we frame our references.
Painting is not just a rendering. It references those places as a kind of narrative unto the paint. Technique is not the prime focus of the process. The crafting of the work, however is relevant.
