Jane takes her influence from the Hampshire countryside and the Cornish coast. She works in large scale oils, and much smaller gouache, using a naturally-based colour palette of mainly blues, greys, browns, yellow and purples, with impasto and thinner paint juxtaposed to create contrasts in texture and interest.
She rarely uses brushes, preferring to exploit the materiality of the paint via palette knives and sponges. In her work, she often takes features of the landscape as the centrepiece, which then slowly become obscured in many layers of paint. This approach has led to some of her paintings being considered self-portraits, and in fact she began her professional career as a portraitist.
Beryl focuses on the act of drawing itself, locating her mark-making in time and space, using geometric linear shapes in black, white and red on a stark white unpainted ground. Beryl's work explores the intercurrence between purposeful mark-making and strategies employed to relinquish control, such as drawing blind with the use of a string grid like structure.
The artists, who work from studios in Hampshire, have been preparing for this new exhibition since they graduated/completed their studies last year: Jane from a Certificate in Painting at the Art Academy at London Bridge, and Beryl from Bath Spa University with an MFA. Previously, both women had taken a Foundation course together as a beginning of a journey towards second careers as artists. Jane had formerly been a journalist and Beryl, a psychiatric social worker.
Jane has already exhibited at the Morley Gallery and with Alexander Llewellyn on her own, was shortlisted for the V&A's Inspired by... Competition 2014 and was runner-up in the Art Academy's annual drawing prize in the same year. She will be exhibiting with Llewellyn Alexander in London again this summer.
