Wendy Brooke-Smith, New Paintings: Still Water

2 Sep-7 Nov 2015

Overview

Solo exhibition celebrating the bare elements of landscape: colour, shape, structure, light, energy - and water, from Canary Wharf to Constable Country. Wendy Brooke-Smith draws inspiration from transience and contrast in contemporary British landscape, both urban and rural. Often from unusual viewpoints, and with a preoccupation with foreground, the artist challenges us to look beyond cultural cliches and iconography to what we really see and feel, not what we know, or 'ought to see'. Oil and acrylic canvasses are complemented by charcoal and mixed media drawings on paper.
