Picture
My art practice typically consists of oil painting on prepared paper, and an exploration and study of everyday objects and my local surroundings and their physical relationships to each other. I am most often lost in the process of painting. A period of introspection and the pursuit of personal passions has led to looking more closely at the intimate forms and spatial harmonies present in my everyday life. The painting process is an experimental conversation, and the use of oil paint showcases the outstanding facility with which fusion of tones or colour can be achieved. With regards to subject matter, its true that so called traditional painting has fallen in and out of favour several times over in the recorded history of art, however it has consistently endured. This is of course entirely due to the skill of the artist, Picasso, Lichtenstein, Cézanne, Renoir, to name but a few, and their ability to make even the most mundane subjects transform into masterpieces. I very much pursue and enjoy the elevation process that can come from placing a subject of seemingly insignificant value or interest into the spotlight of a painters lense. Valerie Hannan 2022
