Ange Mullen-Bryan - Liquid Gold

£1,400.00

Oil on linen
61 x 51 cm
2026

These vital, luminous contemporary landscapes walk a line between the real and imagined. Ange creates a space where we are invited to connect with nature; barefoot in the grass, our palms on warm granite rock. The paintings are a response to a landscape the artist knows well, the lakes, forests and skies of a vast Scandinavian terrain. They are imbued with intimate experiences and memories of place. Woven threads of paint appear like textile or tapestry and morphing; playful apparitions of trees carve up the horizon. Colour and form knock, jar and settle against each other, a tangle makes a whole. At once expansive and yet quietly interior these paintings sit between worlds. We recognise this place, invited in by familiarity and the promise of escape. They have the mystery of a creeping fairy tale, of longing and melancholy, dressed up in the fabric and costume of colour and light.
