CHRIS PAYNE : a retrospective - 6 Jan - 4 Feb
|
|
| |
In her 70th year, Chris now lives in Narberth. She
retired from teaching ten years ago to concentrate on painting
and moved to Wales, where she found the environmental forms
inspirational as a frame for her ideas, memories and comments
on human life and her experience of it.
Chris paints trees and rocks of Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire
in oils, in bright colours with the added edge of exaggerated
forms suggesting figures or spirits. Chris has created an
unusual style, bordering on abstract by not trying to be
too realistic and yet they are illustrative, and would be
wonderful studies for fairy stories.
Anthropopathism is in the eye of the beholder, but most viewers
will find themselves recognising faces and animals in the
textures and forms of these detailed paintings!
The exhibition is open 10am-5pm daily. |
