Quayola’s Jardins d’Été is part of his ongoing series, which reflects the tradition of the representation of landscape through painting. The piece is a 4K video rendering of his animation and highlights the heritage of landscape painting, particularly French landscape painting. Jardins d’Éte is composed of a series of videos of flowers in full bloom, which Quayola filmed in 2016 at night. These flowers, swaying gently in the wind, and are highlighted by a spotlight. They look almost as though they are dancing and emerging from the darkness, the shifting hues of pinks, blues and greens interrupt the black background and become the focal point of the digital painting.
