A journey into abstraction. Its grand vistas, ageless beauty and a never setting sun. Few people ever get to Antarctica, less go there to paint. AntarcticArt is an exploration of the influences affecting the work of a visual Artist. Stephen Eastaugh has travelled for the last 23 years, that calls nowhere home, feeds off isolation and dislocation, who suffers from a self-diagnosed affliction called STILL SICKNESS. How he connects with the pristine environment, deals with the bitter climate and then translates that experience onto the canvas. Set amongst the backdrop of the coldest, windiest, driest continent on Earth we witness the working process and creation of over two hundred individual works. AntarcticArt is a celebration of the ‘frigid exotic’, our last great wilderness. It revels in the big vistas, the ageless beauty and the untouched, endless horizons. It’s one man’s journey into the abstraction that is the ‘great white’ and how he translates this experience to share it with a greater audience
