June 2018 – Jean McNeil
During June we will be showing a selection of artist Jean McNeil’s prints and collages entitled ‘Aspects of the Sea‘. She talks about her work here:
“I am a landscape painter, but have always been drawn to representing the sea, a fascinating and elusive subject. I made a series of monoprints in 2016 and 17 that were inspired by the movements and moods of the North Sea. At one point, in frustration, I tore some of these up and reassembled them, hence the collages. I think I’ve completely broken with the horizon, but it is still there somewhere, and I hope some of the mystery as well.
I moved to Wivenhoe from London in 2011. I have shown my work in London, Wivenhoe, Colchester and Walton-on-the-Naze and am a member of Colchester Art Society.”
