HERMAN PEKEL

7TH - 23RD JUNE

My painting is about light and atmosphere, probably from a Turner influence. Painting is something I feel compelled to do. Most of my work starts with nature and is completed from memory, being an intuitive response to what’s before me. The technique is akin to driving a motorcar, where one changes the gears subconsciously and focusses on the traffic. I rely very much on a passion for the materials that I use – i.e. the texture of rag paper, it’s feel and it’s smell, and the subject to get me through the process. It is the process that is paramount for me. I would describe my art as lying somewhere between Impressionism and Surrealism.
