McConochie\u2019s technique involves painting, or drawing, a landscape and subsequently cutting it up and rearranging it into a new composition. The resulting imagery plays with the traditional representation of landscape as subject matter, subverting it to instead focus on imagined structural forms and interpenetrating planes. Similarly, effective, is McConochie\u2019s use of colourful, bold hues to represent the landscape. McConochie\u2019s stylistic approach creates labyrinths of intricacies, infusing his imagery with an oxymoronic sense of control and, simultaneously, chaos. This conflicting aspect of the work, is the visualisation of what McCononchie sees as the fundamental characteristic of the world he is representing.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newbloodart.com\/artist\/3615\/david-mcconochie\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16684 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/newbloodart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/3615.jpg\" alt=\"3615\" width=\"690\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newbloodart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/3615.jpg 690w, https:\/\/newbloodart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/3615-216x300.jpg 216w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/newbloodart.com\/artist\/3615\/david-mcconochie\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-16685 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/newbloodart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/pen_41763-1024x904.jpg\" alt=\"pen_41763\" width=\"1024\" height=\"904\" srcset=\"https:\/\/newbloodart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/pen_41763-1024x904.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/newbloodart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/pen_41763-300x265.jpg 300w, https:\/\/newbloodart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/pen_41763-768x678.jpg 768w, https:\/\/newbloodart.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/pen_41763.jpg 1772w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not unlike early cubism, David McConochie experiments with form through dramatic fragmentation &#8211;\u00a0 his images of landscapes are arranged into grid-like, geometric structures, created through collage.
