Vija Celmins received attention early on for her renditions of natural scenes- often copied from photographs that lack a point of reference, horizon, or discernable depth of field. Armed with a nuanced palette of blacks and grays, Celmins renders these limitless space- seascapes, night skies, and the barren desert floor- with an uncanny accuracy, working for months on a single image.
