About Margaretann Bennett RSW
More than one year on from being invited to create a body of work for my solo exhibition, my vision has finally taken shape for the Greengallery show.
After a long, exhilarating creative journey, I’ve finally realised a carefully assembled collection of bold, resonant paintings and monotypes that represent where I’m at right now as an artist and some that hint at my future creative direction.
Work centres round themes which I’m passionate about: beautiful decay and remembrance, Victorian mourning, memento mori and the holding on to love despite inevitable loss through the inexorable passing of time.
From smaller investigative works exploring the poignant motifs of tombstones and family crypts, sometimes with faded, stained portraits, to reimagined landscapes in large abstract form exploring the rich textures and surfaces of this subject matter.
Pitted textures of rust, moss and verdigris, all rained upon and worn by the passing seasons dance in a battle for supremacy through carefully textured paint, layered across canvases of remembrance, capturing the bittersweet weathering of nature and time
