Overview

"In this new collection, I have continued to ask myself - What if I go there? What if I try this? What do I really want to do? Sometimes the answer surprises me, sometimes I end up back where I started, and sometimes it's as if I knew the destination was waiting all along, I just needed to go on the journey."

"The idea of ‘Transitions’ and some of the other titles, reference how that journey has influenced me and moved my work to new pastures. I have gravitated to more saturated colour – lime greens and yellow, as well as to different darks of rich olive green and almost black. There is a looser application of paint and a fresh return to the influence of landscape. There are still the common threads that never cease to delight and interest me - rich texture, layers, and a sense of history.

 

I paint in my studio from an inner world, but memories of place, of sea and weather and eroded surfaces, the minutiae of a scratched mark to the sweep of an expansive sky, I hope imbue a sense of grounding to the abstraction." - Joanne Last, Summer 2023 Collection.

 

In Joanne's new collection of abstract paintings, she has taken brave and exciting new pathways and directions to explore Cornwall’s coastal landscape. Rich textures, colours, layering, and mark-making ground the work with a sense of history and place.
