Margaretann Bennett‘s current paintings explore the Scottish west Coast landscape through use of mixed media. She creates a surface of rich colour and sumptuous texture with paint, often incorporating layers of delicate paper which she pre-colours and marks. Bennett’s approach is intuitive rather than analytical: there is deliberate tension between areas of abstraction and finer detail. Most of her contemporary paintings are a distillation of collected experiences into a visual unity and an evocation, rather than depiction of place.
Margaretann Bennett says: “I seek to convey a sense of time passing and lives lived, drawing on elements where man has left his mark, for example lines and shapes created by old stone walls, steadings and sheepfolds.”
Margaretann Bennett dit: «Je cherche à transmettre un sentiment du temps qui passe et de la vie vécue, en s'appuyant sur des éléments où l'homme a laissé sa marque, par exemple des lignes et des formes créées par des murs en vieilles pierres."
