An exhibition of new paintings by Mark Warner exploring connections to Land and Sea.<\/p>\n
Mark Warner\u2019s practice demonstrates his understanding of an everchanging environment, enabling him to respond to the changing light and rhythm of the land and sea, through the interplay of colour, contrast and brushstrokes.<\/p>\n
Growing up on the West Wales coast has had a huge impact in the way Mark developed his particular approach to painting and how he views the landscape today.<\/p>\n
A horizon line fascinates him.
\nSwathes of clouds sweep across landscapes offering a moment of joyful drama in a wide landscape. Bright greens and yellows popping out and a hillside peppered with purple heather. Then it is gone. A fleeting impression of how he views what is in front of him. His distinctive interplay of colour, vivid at times, generates a real sense of place.<\/p>\n
His use of sketchbooks to aid painting is important to him.
\nPainted panorama compositions in particular, are informed by these responses where he sketches across both sides of the sketchbook.
\nThis can then develop into a longer compositional painting.
\n\u2018Plein air\u2019 painting and sketching can form an integral part of the development either completing work outdoors or returning to the studio to develop further.<\/p>\n
In his first solo exhibition at MOMA Machynlleth, Mark will bring together a new body of work showing his connections to the West Wales coast alongside landscapes further afield.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
