Interior Exterior
Familiar domestic objects have always been central in my paintings as has the spectacular landscape of West Cornwall. In this collection, however, I have found myself, almost inadvertently, adopting new approaches.
The ‘Interior‘ paintings still reflect my interest in the everyday, the static, the unchanging, the reassurance and the security of well loved objects, but I have attempted to capture a more organic immediacy by working from life rather than from the drawings in my sketchbooks.
As a result each painting has its own context unlocking memories hidden just below the surface.
In my ‘Exterior‘ paintings I have become more aware of and interested in the effects of weather up on the landscape, whether it is the blurring of strong outlines on a day hag-ridden by rain or the silence that descends on the fields blanketed by snow. Memories of stormy skies or clouds passing over the sea on a sunny day have pushed to the fore and although the placing of the precise line is still of paramount importance to me, I have found that almost by themselves some lines have become more fluid and ambiguous.
In trying to capture these movements and changes imposed by the weather I have felt my painting becoming freer and more overtly emotional. - Jessica Cooper 2010
