"Left Behind I' (2019). Marko Klomp. Oil on Linen. 120 cm x 100cm.

"Left Behind I" (2019) is part of a new series Marko Klomp started in 2019. In each of these painting, Marko Klomp paints in his signature 'soft focus' style a vast landscape with a singular animal figure. The work in this series is very large and the sense of isolation is painfully poetic in each piece.

In "Left Behind I", we see a turbulent tropical ocean on a grey and clouded day. The only life in this vast ocean scape is one sea turtle swimming in the choppy waters. The dominating colour is a sea-green ocean and the sea turtle is a variation of this green. The ocean is beautifully captured in its never-ending movement of waves and surf.
