Bronwyn embraces the vivid, richly decadent colours of oil paint to create strikingly large canvasses that are all-encompassing. Verging on the edge of experiential art, this tactic is purposefully employed to draw the viewer into an alternative illusionary realm. While tacitly rich voluptuousness is employed through the medium of oil paint, it is more recently contrasted against washes of watered down turpentine versions of the colours creating misty Rothko-inspired hazes.

Colour blending is another technique that plays prominently in Bronwyn’s recent work, as inspired by her professional painter aunt, Christine Cherry-Jones. Further influences can be attributed to her brother’s artistic style, where phenomenally imaginative Terry Pratchett-like characters are painted in colourfully upbeat hues and offset with satirically ingenious compositions on similarly large-scale canvasses.

Many of Bronwyn’s influences can also be attributed to her art teacher, Gill Blair, who provoked the use of ‘chance’ per the Dadaist canon. The process of cathartic play is seen as the main generator for bold strokes and multiple-colours brush loading; with the more tricky puzzle being how to link all the incongruous components together to create a complete piece.

All of Bronwyn’s life experiences, good and bad, play a role in the subconscious musings drawn out onto the canvas. It is the task of completing the puzzle between the discordant elements that stimulates Bronwyn’s rational mind and artistic, proportional eye in terms of how to solve the visual problems she so wilfully creates for herself.

Much love to everyone who has helped along the way.
