In November 2019 Jonathan Cooper, Chelsea, will be holding the gallery’s first solo show of paintings by the artist Tracy Rees. Painting in acrylic on board, Rees depicts mischievous dogs and watchful cats in dreamlike scenes that combine the familiar realm of domestic interiors with more mysterious, enchanted landscapes.
Living in Cornwall with her husband Michael Rees, a fellow artist, Rees works from a studio in her garden, where her three cats happily roamed amidst the birds and wildlife. She draws inspiration from the changing seasons of the Cornish landscape, along with collected curios, china, and textiles that often form the backdrop to her charming animal portraits.
