Archipelagos


10 May - 8 Jun 2012

Solo Show

Artist  Hanneke van Ryswyk

Officially opened  9th May 2012

Guest Speaker  Jeremy Hill of the Norman Gallery, Wexford

Van Ryswyk builds her paintings in numerous layers through washes and glazes of colour. In these imagined Archipelagos, her process of building and eroding layers of paint, mirrors the formation of the earth's crust. 

In many of the painted works including 'Desert Island', layer upon layer are fused through sanding; revealing the illusion of a textured relief. From her deepest cobalts, lands erupt in patterns of yellows, greens, and burnt oranges, then disappear into vast oceans of turquoise.
