Although the title of this artwork is evocative of landscape, as viewers we are instead presented with an abstract image of swirling colour. Ebenezer can be understood as conveying a sensory response to the local area’s landscape, as opposed to a figurative representation. Frank has achieved this effect through pouring layers of varnish in various levels of thickness onto a horizontal canvas. As the layers are added, the artist controls the direction of the varnish flow with wedges and blocks placed beneath the painting.
