Wendy Connelly

Wendy Connelly is a contemporary British landscape painter. She is best known for her extraordinary use of raw pigment. A delicate but definite interplay upon the surface, shifting depth that questions the sense of space and place. These layers of landscapes and memory have a fluency of agitated forms bridging scatterings of incidents. Taking control of each layer Wendy demonstrates a discernment for painterly traditions, making her own mediums, bringing pigment to the fore. There is a luminosity of depth that shifts through luscious swipes of paint. These paths Wendy finds through her landscapes carry fragments that we recognise, familiar and comforting yet unworldly. Wendy sits between borders both metaphorically and physically, carrying relationships of family and ‘home’ in finding a place of belonging.
