'Immersed & Imbued': 8 Women Artists on Abstraction and Expressionism in Britain’s Contemporary Landscapes

Artwork above: Gina Parr, ‘A Great Escape’, 2022, oil, charcoal, soft pastel and acrylic on canvas, 60 x 60 cm.

Featuring Susan Cordes, Tessa Houghton, Felicity Keefe, Joanne Last, Gina Parr, Tania Rutland, Helen Simms, and Tori Tipton

‘Immersed & Imbued’ showcases landscape painting, printmaking, and photographic techniques, putting into dialogue 8 women artists representing different UK landscapes and using a variety of techniques – from semi-abstraction and representation of the outward world, to full abstraction and bold expressionism – to delve into inner and imaginative landscapes.

The exhibition explores the ways in which contemporary women artists are responding to a long history and tradition of landscape painting in the UK. Shifting between engagement with the environment and exterior world to the interiority of the mind, each artist applies distinctive techniques to capturing dynamic places of aesthetic interest, memory, and emotional appeal.
