Penny Coss, Interloper 2014, acrylic on canvas, 110 x 150cm
Penny Coss says: ‘The local landscape that I inhabit and know well is pretty ordinary really. I have taken countless photographs of this landscape for some reason, and I don’t use them specifically in the studio, but I know that this is like how I paint… I liken these binary states with colour and form, colour being a continuous fluid contained by its drying properties and in my work that is restricted only by the limits of the frame or surface it is on. Overlooked edges, overlapping colours, opaque and transparent colour meet in uncomfortable situations across the surface.’
