🌅 Nature inspired the artist Theo Janssen to paint a series of landscapes blending the curves of women into the scene 🌅

👉Here’s the story...
🚗 While driving through the Canterbury High Country in the South Island, Theo Janssen stopped to relieve himself at the side of the road. 💦

☺️ Relaxing, he looked out at the surrounding hills, and he noticed how the shapes of the landscape looked like the curves in women’s bodies. 👁️

🖌️ Inspired by that moment, Theo Janssen painted a series of landscapes blending the curves of women into the scene (see the photos).



👉 Visit the Theo Janssen exhibition to see these paintings and the rest of the exhibition for yourself. If you live to far away to visit in person, follow our page to view the exhibition online.
