Nancy Collantine Artworks for Sale

Concept

Painting colour and light, material layers and organising space are the main concerns of my practice. My painting is often site specific responding to memory and nostalgia in the context of place. By process of delving and drawing I make visual notes, light touch references to the colour and contours of a place. Working with fragments of information, visual artefacts, memory, rumour and intrigue, I am aware I am merging this with my own history. I attempt an assembling using paint, or sometimes not; which is soon followed by an unravelling and then a re-building using ideas that have emerged through the process.
