Glendon Cordell (b. 1980, Tasmania) is an abstract landscape painter from Tasmania, Australia. He captures undulating hills, the deep hues of Australian waterways and the burnt mustard of sun kissed fields, highlighting the technicolor dreamscape of Australia. Cordell’s work explores the relationship between color, texture and formations of mark making on canvas. He noted, “It is simply my hope to relay emotions of calm and enjoyment through my work.” In the process of artwork, Cordell uses layer upon layer of acrylic paint, ensuring his work is detailed and concise by experimenting with gouache and water color but prefers a malleable acrylic base for his work. Cordell is a graduate of the University of Tasmania with a Bachelor of Fine Arts. Given this academic underpinning, Cordell has a particularly refreshing perspective of his art, with a simple focus on conjuring joy in the viewer and garnering artistic appreciation.
