Gillian Ellett Banks, Natural forms in Landscape

It evokes all the senses, and as such, the artist's response is to record the emotional impact, then hint at the visual clues. The aim is to synthesis the elements of the essential form into the purest statement of colour as form while retaining the original emotional impact.

Using a minimalist approach, the artist attempts a general statement. Gillian works intensely, often on many canvases at once, ensuring spontaneity and robust imagery. This enables an editing process to take place, a selection of the main elements with no time for superfluous detail. Often a composite of viewpoints, where a floating heat shimmer or tranquil comfort pervades the canvas, and as such the radiating heat of an oppressive atmosphere can be seen to out weigh huge rock masses and escarpments.
