Recent Paintings : Johanna Melvin

Recent paintings from my Highams Park Studio. About Open 10 am – 5 pm Tuesday to Saturday (closed Sat Nov 7th) Paintings are encountered differently in the physical world than through the screens that increasingly mediate our experience of images. Their surfaces, scale and material presence register the movement of the hand, making gesture tangible in ways that digital reproduction cannot fully convey. This solo exhibition brings together two strands of recent work from my Highams Park studio, both exploring the tension between spontaneous mark-making and hard-edged structure, while reflecting on the shifting relationship between painting and digital communication. Both strands of work emerge from a process-led approach, balancing spontaneity and intuition with a keen sense of structure and order. It is within this tension between control and freedom that each painting finds its own internal logic and direction..
