Did you see a bright light?: Sophie Witter

This exhibition is focused on a series of still life and landscape paintings. Depicted are interior and domestic scenes and objects which are alongside more public landscapes and open spaces. A dialogue is set up between our inside and outside worlds. Witter’s painting-based practice makes strong use of colour and quick mark making to depict various scenes and provide a sense of movement. The works are interested in reflecting the unique process of painting and that it can be intuitive and hopeful and in this way is contrasted with sameness and perfection that is strived for in other spaces.  The subject matter is exploring the interplay between aesthetics and emotions and each scene captures a moment in time inviting the viewer into the space.
