Catalog

The rhythms of passing time and tidal water ow through this latest exhibition by contemporary landscape artist Wendy Brooke-Smith. The show is anchored around a new collection of London paintings, exploring her favourite subject matter of the Thames and its transient City skyline.

Wendy has always been inspired by the changing nature of the river: “The Thames has so many personas - busy and blustery or calm and contemplative, brimming high water or revealing her secrets for the mudlarkers - and each time completely transforming our perception of the City around us” But she has also spent time over the past several summers sailing the outer fringes of the British and Irish coastline, accumulating a body of work showing ‘life on the edge’ with its underlying currents of resilience and resourcefulness.

As she explains: “I’m fascinated by the differing ways we exist alongside, or in spite of the forces of nature: the remote crofts and lighthouses of our coastal margins may seem a world away from London’s urban jungle, but they are connected by the same patterns of tidal ow and human tenacity… isolation or integration is more of a social than geographical issue”.

TIME AND TIDE unites this coastal odyssey with the urban landscapes in a wide-ranging exhibition of acrylic and oil paintings and Wendy’s signature charcoal drawings Wendy Brooke-Smith graduated from University College Suffolk in 2008 with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art. Her work is held in private and corporate collections throughout the UK, including Hill Dickinson LLP, Associated British Ports and RBAET, Royal Courts of Justice
