Alison Berrett
Clearing Fog, Original Abstract Landscape Oil Painting, Blue Painting, Pastel

2021

About the Item

Alison Berrett “Clearing Fog” Oil on canvas 40cm x 100cm. The soft pastel colours in this painting create a mysterious atmosphere. Inspired by the spring and autumn mists across the fields of my local landscape I have tried to create a sense of space and quietness. Symbolic shapes may evoke memories of the sun trying to break through the shrouds of mist and fog and there are suggestions of grass or other plants in the foreground alluding to the possibility of a landscape when the mists have cleared. Alison Berrett is available online and in our gallery at Wychwood Art. Alison Berrett says: "I love the freedom of being an artist. Primarily I paint, draw, collage and photograph. I work with oil or acrylic paint on board or canvas, and occasionally, household objects. I also like to mix media, using wax crayons and oil pastels to create a resist with watercolour paints; or collage, charcoal and acrylic paint to explore textures. My inspiration is the result of a passion for the beauty of the natural world we live in. I take photographs of anything that catches my attention whilst out in the landscape as a reference point for my ideas and thoughts. It is also a way of visually recording and collecting images for a time when I can paint. I do not paint directly from the photographs but use them as starting points. Drawings, paintings and written notes are sometimes produced on site outdoors. I am often struck by dramatic lighting, the simultaneous contrast of colours or extreme weather conditions. Sensing the soul of the earth, I try to convey something of this inexplicable phenomenon in whatever I create. Sometimes I draw whilst carefully studying my subject without looking at the page. I am very interested in the quality of lines and marks this technique creates. I have also been investigating the use of drawing like this as a meditative process. Drawing and mark making has been a continuous area of interest since I first felt the urge as a child. I became liberated in my ability to express myself when in 1989 I attempted to draw and paint the sea during ferocious storms. I had to respond in an urgent, intuitive and spontaneous way, capturing the movement of the waves and wind and recording my own gestures and emotional response. This led me to create abstract works combining these gestures and emotions with a sense of movement and a fascination for colour and the application of paint. I find the transformational qualities of paint extremely satisfying. The paintings themselves are full of emotional expression and spontaneity; questions and observations about life often appear in my work as it progresses. Visual metaphors become apparent as I carefully work out the balance of composition, colour and mark. I rarely start a painting knowing what the end result will be but I have a very clear sense of my starting point. Then begins the organic process of bringing the work to life. I greatly value my role as a workshop leader (often as an artist in residence) and educator, encouraging other people to be creative. My experience in these areas is very broad and I am delighted that this continues to expand. I have created, and delivered dynamic educational programmes and workshops as well as pursuing and developing my own professional practice as a freelance artist. I have been involved in some extremely interesting, diverse and incredibly valuable projects and worked with some wonderful, creative, people. It is a privilege to be a part of the rich and energising world of Art."

  • Large Merton Beds 4, Oxford Art, Semi Abstract Style Floral Painting, Statement
    Located in Deddington, GB
    Large Merton Beds 4 by Elaine Kazimierczuk Original and hand signed by the artist Original Abstract Landscape Painting Oil Paint on Canvas Canvas Size: H 150cm x W 200cm Sold Framed in a White Float Frame (Please note that in situ images are purely an indication of how a piece may look). Elaine Kazimierczuk. This large dramatic oil painting was made as part of a landscape panorama which measures 7m across in total. Although the four pieces were made as a complete work, they are available separately. Any two, three or four panels may be hung together, preferably choosing those which keep the continuity of the image. This piece is the fourth panel on the right of the series. The work represents an area of the Oxford Botanic Gardens which has been planted with sustainability in mind. The result is a riot of colours of mixed species mostly drought tolerant. I adore the chaotic assemblage of beauty in these flower beds. They are extensive, so the work deserves this treatment on a large scale. Elaine Kazimierczuk artist is available at Wychwood Art. Elaine studied chemistry at university and taught for many years before becoming a professional artist. She has written and illustrated a series of books on local history besides a monograph on the religious works of the prominent sculptor Peter Eugene Ball...
