Landscape Imprint
Richard Pomeroy
Saturday 14 January 2012 - Saturday 18 February 2012
In these new paintings made especially for our Gallery, Somerset based artist Richard Pomeroy explores the link between landscape and humanity. The artist lies down in carefully prepared wet paint on primed linen. The resulting image can form either the dramatic centrepiece of the painting or can be gradually subsumed by the subsequent layers of paint. The body's clothing is clearly modern with zips and denim defining the figure as contemporary. Aspects of the landscape are then painted as an upper layer on top of the body print. This physical union between body and landscape dramatises te subject of the paintings and creates a memorable image.
