Studio Sale 2023 | Chloe Scott-Moncrieff
20 JANUARY 2023 - 06 FEBRUARY 2023Notes
CS Moncrieff's paintings are rhythmical visualisations, frequently exploring the relationship between femaleness and the land. Creativity abounds in the stories she paints, often within the compositions themselves.
There is tension in the light and dark, the fleeting flecks against the thick gestural sweeps, urban elements against wilderness. Colour is non naturalistic, brushstrokes are fast and fluid. Perspective is at a tilt.
“Forces interest me, whether it’s the force of a landscape, the wind, the light, as well as narrative forces."
The work also conveys bursts of merriment, reflecting a joy for the land surrounding Moncrieff - the doves, mushrooms, fleshy foliage all exist in the woods she's immersed in.
While there is an element of angst, there’s escapism, a celebration of wilderness, with folklore and mythology interwoven into the subtext. She exhibits nationally and internationally.
