Product description
Jo Brown’s interest is in the painterly space, the material properties of paint and its tangible elements - line, plane, gesture, spatial configuration, process and surface, layering and juxtaposition.
Though abstract, there is often a reference to landscape and the natural world, characterized by a free and gestural application of paint. Colour and its emotional effect is paramount.
Her aim is to create a personal space, one that others might enter and respond to in their own way.
Background Information about Jo Brown
‘When I begin a new painting I don’t know what it will be. This ‘’not knowing’ is very important to me because of the improvisatory, intuitive way in which I work, which depends on being sensitive to what is happening as a painting unfolds. The natural world is always there somewhere in the background as I explore the feeling of landscape through colour. So, my work is more about feeling than figuration, while maintaining basic structure.’
My influences are too numerous to mention, but ‘guiding lights’ in earlier days – and even now – are Matisse, Heron, late Turner, as well as some high-abstract British painters from the sixties and seventies who have steadfastly continued to work in this way.’
