The Essence of Northern England

Appleby’s paintings are a tribute to the landscapes of his homeland. The vivid colors and textures of the region’s terrain are central to his work, reflecting the native feel of Northern England. His smooth-surfaced trees, mountains, and plants serve as focal points, encouraging a deeper appreciation of nature’s beauty. Each piece is a standalone scene, celebrating the diversity and subtle disruptions found in nature.

Artistic Fusion and Innovation

While rooted in the real world, Appleby’s art transcends conventional perspectives. He skillfully incorporates fictional elements from various media into his paintings, creating dynamic compositions that blend reality with imagination. In works like “Low Poly Landscape,” he employs mechanical, daisy-like plants reminiscent of classic computer games, juxtaposed with layered mountain ridges that convey a sense of vastness. This fusion of styles creates a unique vista that is both familiar and fantastical.

This approach not only highlights the beauty of nature but also underscores its importance and fragility.
