+ "Natasha Kissell’s paintings use the landscape to trigger memories and associations. They aim to celebrate her concern and love for the landscape. For her, juxtaposing modernist architecture within the landscape becomes a way of re-inventing the Landscape Tradition, infusing it with a new momentum, re-claiming what has been discarded.". Magical Worlds is the title of Natasha Kissell’s show of paintings that contrast modernist architecture with old-fashioned landscapes at gallery Eleven in London. See more of her work here.

Is that description serious? What a load of fluff. Goes to show artists will sell anything, including paintings of (pretty good)landscapes with other people's original buildings painted on top at bad angles.
It won't change how you feel about the art, but the bad angles are on purpose; "Her almost collage-like method of constructing her paintings, playing with perspective and creating a sense of unreal and impossible views, is based on her study of medieval Sienese painting and the works of Brueghel whilst she was a student at the Royal Academy."
