The winding coastline of Cape Breton comes to life in this colourful Métis-inspired dot art landscape.
Inspired by Cape Breton Highlands National Park, the artwork follows the dramatic meeting of mountains and ocean, with forest-covered highlands, rugged cliffs, brilliant Atlantic water and a winding road travelling through the landscape.
Thousands of individual dots create the hills, trees, rock formations, ocean and sweeping sky, giving the piece a rich sense of movement and texture. The composition draws additional inspiration from the bold landscapes associated with Canada’s Group of Seven, using expressive colour, simplified natural forms and dramatic scale to celebrate one of Canada’s most recognizable coastal environments.
The winding road is a nod to the Cabot Trail, where some of Cape Breton’s most spectacular views unfold between the highlands and the sea.
Created as part of Turtle Island Market’s Canadian landscape collection, this piece combines a contemporary Métis-inspired dot art approach with the unmistakable scenery of Cape Breton Island.
A beautiful choice for anyone who loves Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, the Cabot Trail, Atlantic Canada or distinctive Canadian landscape art.
