Kerry Harding
Kerry Harding’s paintings offer a refreshing
take on the Cornish landscape … a ‘poetic essence’.
The paintings demonstrate an astuteness and exploration
of the subtle shades and textures of grey that characterise
this region: be it the granite structures or the blue seas
and grassy verges muted by overcast clouds.
Although the work is undoubtedly informed by the Cornish
landscape in terms of its pallet and surface, it is equally
concerned with the paint itself, its application and
its role as a visual language. Compositions develop through
the
discoveries made within the continuous process of application
of paint and then sanding it back. The work is often
divided into panels to highlight the contrasting textures
and properties
of the paint itself. Distinctive motifs are used to focus
the work and add depth.
Harding’s restricted palette pares down colour to
a minimal distraction in order to attend to the mark making.
Having said this, her attitude to colour is not merely
black
and white. Rather, Harding deploys a subtle and confident
mastery of colour in the work. When colour is introduced,
it enhances, highlights and comments on the activity and
space created in each piece. |
