Helena McConochie Art


I am an artist who paints large scale flowers, slightly cropped in oil paint. My flowers are not always in season when I need them so sometimes I take photographs of them when they are available. I am quiet fussy with which flowers I use as they have to perform exactly as I want them. My mother had an amazing garden so I have a lot of history around flowers with seasons, ability to cope with climates and soils, how to get the best result from each flower. Sometimes I feel my art is the same.

Sophie Dumont - Lights in Normandy

Sophie DUMONT’s abstract is not a concept, it is an approach where each canvas builds itself around a graphic design put into perspective by the colour.

The drawing can evoke the contour of a body or the meanders of a landscape. It is only the unpremeditated interpretation of a figurative idea which takes other shapes in space.

The canvas gets structured around a play of curves and lines filtering the lights.

It is in this refined structure that the palette of often contrasted tonalities enters. But the substance is never rough, drawing from its maturation of lyric effects which are the results of a creative work of the material. The knife shapes the material into successive layers which merge into a combination of sparkling colours.

The underlying presence of the different substrata creates this vibration born from the contrast between material and colours to give to the representation its own life, devoid of any reference. The eye of the viewer, far from being guided, is invited to travel freely in the canvas. His perception is only the expression of his own emotions, simply subject to the effect of modulations transcribed by the artist, and which explains this permanent relation between works, with at times changing aspects and mind, but that symbolize a coherent and sincere approach.

Lucinda Coldrey Fine Art

"When you buy from an independent artist, you are buying more than a painting, a novel or a song. You are buying hundreds of hours of experimentation and thousands of failures, you are buying days, weeks, months, years of frustration and pure joy. You are buying nights of worry about paying the bills, having enough money to eat, feed the children, birds, the dog. You are not buying a thing, you are buying a piece of heart, part of a soul, a private moment in someone's life. Most importantly you are buying the artist more time to do something they are truly passionate about; something that makes all of the above worth the fear and the doubt; something that puts life into the living".
