SUMMARY:Art in Windows: Art in Windows: Sacred Landfill - Paintings by Rob 
 D Davies
DESCRIPTION:Sacred Landfill\nPaintings by Rob D Davies\n\nSacred Landfill i
 s a painting from a series\, by Wirral artist Rob D Davies\, that\, in spi
 rit\, parallels Turner’s idyllic landscape scenes of Nemis\, Italy. Nemi
 s was the sacred grove where\, in antiquity\, it was said Diana dwelt. Sco
 ttish anthropologist James George Frazer also made Nemis the home of the K
 ing Of The Wood\, a figure representing a kind of ‘vegetation myth’ in
  which the world undergoes regular renewal\, ensuring life’s continuatio
 n.\n\nThe word ‘environment’ is used a lot these days. In one sense it
  is just like Nemis’ sacred grove in that we\, too\, are seeking to ensu
 re that our world flourishes for the season(s) to come. Davies’ painting
 s\, however\, question the real-ness of such a romanticised  concept of t
 he environment by inhabiting it with unnatural looking figures (like those
  in artist’s impressions for proposed developments) and by throwing in v
 ery ordinary-looking pockets of wasteland.\n\nThe desire for the idyllic l
 andscape or utopian world where we are at one with nature sits uncomfortab
 ly alongside the dirt and chaos of reality. In the modern English countrys
 ide\, with its varied pockets of semi-industrial and semi-wild views\, Dav
 ies has found a perfect anchor for these contrasting concepts of environme
 nt.
