Attic Gallery, Swansea
Sat 19 Mar – Sat 9 April
From detailed figurative etchings to unique watercolour paintings, leading British painter-printmaker Brenda Hartill RE will be bringing her wide collection of work to the Attic Gallery this month. Hartill’s strong interest in the light and shadows of Southern Europe and remote New Zealand is reflected in her work, which explores the textures and patterns within these different landscapes. Now living in Spain, her collection of etchings also features pieces influenced by Spanish landscapes and her newest work uses beautiful hues of brown and blue in abstract forms.
In her search for more artistic independence, Hartill turned towards printmaking in the early eighties and has since been successful in publishing her own work. As a member of the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers, her work is regularly displayed at shows all over the country such as the Bankside Gallery, London, and featured in the collections of many large companies. Hartill, a regular exhibitor at the gallery, will showcase her latest work at the exhibition but it will also reflect her development as a printmaker by looking back at her older creations.
