| About | On the mountain across the valley from my studio, there is a mysterious stone monolith known as The Peaky Stone or the Lonely Shepherd, with one local legend saying it a former shepherd, long watching from his vantage point, and eventually turned to stone. At dawn or dusk, or in the moonlight, hares can be seen here, in the liminal space between farmland and moorland that they enjoy. Crickhowell based artist Tim Rossiter works mainly in oil on panel, using successive layers of glazes to build up and adjust the colours and tones, a common enough process 400 years ago but less usual in contemporary practice. He works imaginatively, with music, poetry, mythology and the Welsh landscape all providing themes, though the content is always his own. He tends to work from memory so that he edits out unwanted detail rather than trying to make a visual copy of the world. The transparency of the glazes he uses and his reluctance to blend the paint into uniform surface is what gives the work a rather staccato grain when viewed close up and its exceptional luminosity. |
