About the Item
Mary Scott Resonance An original seascape painting Oil paint on canvas 50 cm x 70 cm x 2 cm (unframed size) 55 cm x 75 cm x 3.5 cm (framed size) Sold framed (white painted wood tray frame) Resonance (an original seascape painting) by Mary Scott is an abstract interpretation of the powerful sea and the ancient rocks of West Penwith, Cornwall. Created in oil paint mixed with pigment, cold wax and rock powder to give it authenticity, the work is rich in texture which gives it an aged, rugged and energetic feel. The artist wants to transport the viewer to the wild Cornish coast. Predominantly painted in slate blue, pale blue and grey, hints of rusty orange underlayers show through, bringing to mind the industrial heritage of this part of West Cornwall. It was painted as an intuitive response to the artist's long walks along the wild coast path between Cape Cornwall and Pendeen, with the backdrop of the wild Atlantic Ocean beyond. The artist was a geologist earlier in her career and gains inspiration from walking in this ancient landscape where the rocks are more than 300 million years old, and where if one looks directly west from here, there is no landfall until the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

ARTIST BIOGRAPHY:
Mary Scott paints abstract landscapes to make sense of her emotional response to, and memories of, wild places. Mary is influenced by her early career as a geologist, and in a busy world, she invites the viewer to slow down, and immerse themselves in space and time. Mary Scott's adopted home, Cornwall, and her journeys further afield, provide wonderful natural environments in which to walk, and to absorb and reflect on the landscape. Mary Scott uses a range of materials including acrylics, oils, cold wax, rock powders and natural pigments, to make responses which are fast and slow, bold and subtle, exuberant and quiet, capturing her feelings and memories over many layers. Mary’s approach is intuitively liberating, using both colour (or its absence) and texture freely and responsively. Mary is very conscious of our human smallness in space and time. In a fast-paced world, she finds herself reflecting on the enormity of geological time, slowing down my process to create a glimpse through windows into the past of these ancient landscapes which require nothing from us but stillness. Instead, we humans have imposed our will and errors of judgement, and she is disturbed by environmental degradation heaped on our planet. Mary borrows from the geological world to express this, for example, making marks to represent fractures, fissures and fault lines. In contrast, she uses loose shapes and embracing curves as metaphors for how the Earth has held and sustained life through time. Having recently undertaken a year-long progamme at St Ives School of Painting, she is currently developing her practice through participating in Newlyn School of Art’s ‘Professional Landscape’ mentoring programme.

- Large Merton Beds 4, Oxford Art, Semi Abstract Style Floral Painting, StatementLocated in Deddington, GBLarge 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...Category
