In Childish’s latest body of work, the winter landscape is his central theme, both wild and serene. The paintings on view comprise a series of quietly beautiful scenes featuring low hanging winter suns, cool mists, and sombre trees. Childish’s compositions are dark, but not gloomy, reflective of the season and glowing with their own internal luminosity. In these works, viewers are reminded that life continually moves through its own natural rhythms, even in the seemingly still depths of winter.

The artist’s subjects are drawn from both his immediate environment—the North Kent landscape and members of his family—as well as further afield, including scenes of northern California and historical photographs, often appearing other-worldly or what Childish has described as dreamscapes.
