En Plein-Air art in its strictest sense is a practice of creating art in a painterly or an illustrative way drawn upon a natural setting. The outdoor creation, whether a painting or an illustrative art form, is a creation and interpretation from the artists’ environment which are of an intense impression. The open air creation, a landscape painting or illustrative art form stems from the term in French, En Plein-Air, which was influenced by the early impressionist painters. In this current exhibition, each artist has a different creative approach to the environment in which they find themselves. The artists’ method is of different mediums, therefore making this an engaging collection.
