Flattened forms, boldly carved textures, and a restrained palette of turquoise, charcoal black, soft gray, and warm ochre create an image that is at once playful, meditative, and unmistakably his own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1679\" data-start=\"1282\"\u003eThe title, \u003cstrong data-end=\"1320\" data-start=\"1293\"\u003eMountain of the Seasons\u003c\/strong\u003e, suggests the ever-changing character of the mountains throughout the year. The clustered mountain faces evoke shifting weather, passing time, and the intimate relationship between the mountaineer and the natural world.
