Annabel Mednick: May 2015

Friday, 8 May 2015

Just finished the paintings for Byard Art in Cambridge for the Summer show.

They are big versions of the studies I sold at Arlingtons before Christmas. I have enjoyed painting all those jars and plates, and of course the lovely light.

Kitchen with Yellow, 100cm x 100cm, oil on canvas

Always fascinated by the light that pours in, energising the stillness of a room, the contrast of outside and inside, dark and light, Annabel Mednick explores the drama of the quiet moment.

In between the big events of life – birth, death etc – people are living normal lives, her work is a celebration of that.

The square format and the absence of a frame add a contemporary twist to a timeless subject. In her interiors, the stones of the building have been there for centuries, while the people are transient; the light from the outside world comes in and moves around them, linking them to the past, the future and everyone else.
