Curator's Note
“In Sunday Walk, Mary West is preoccupied with the distillation of atmospheric memory, translating the ephemeral phenomena of light, space, and riverside topography into a tactile, enduring surface. The composition is built through richly layered oil on linen, where gestural mark-making and deliberate chance accidents coalesce into a luminous, semi-abstracted landscape that vibrates with quiet tension. Echoing the lyrical abstraction of Helen Frankenthaler and the atmospheric sensitivity of J.M.W. Turner, West’s brushwork dissolves the boundaries between figuration and pure sensory experience. As a coveted focal point, this unique work would thrive suspended above a sunlit entrance console or nestled within a curated study bookshelf, where its evocative depth and textural complexity can invite continuous, contemplative dialogue.”
About the Artist
Mary West is an abstract artist living in West London. She studied at The Slade School of Fine Art, where she developed her practice building richly oil layered canvases veering between abstraction and figuration. Mary draws on lived experiences of nature, exploring light, texture, space and atmosphere. She lives by the river, which provides a constant source of inspiration in her paintings. In her work, the paint takes on a life of its own through chance accidents and gestural mark making.
