To create the perfect picture will take a lifetime…...

Joining our list of new artists for the Cristus http://www.cristus-gallery.com/ Summer Exhibition is Hythe-based Tracey-Ann Pryke. Though she paints mainly figurative works, this abstract departure is an example of her extensive range. It is not a painting to be avoided. There is a physical presence here, as if the surface of the painting itself has been set ablaze. Chromatic oils burn and shimmer over the blackness. The sense of immediacy reminds me of Willem de Kooning and the ‘Action painters’ of the 1950s and 60s, as though the painter has just stepped back from the canvas, bespattered and breathless – and the painting continues to burn. It is a great contrast to Tracey-Ann’s meticulous portraits and seascapes, though all possess the same rich pallette and expressionistic verve. See them for yourself, online and at the gallery from June 4th.

• Tracey has just agreed to demonstrate her skills by painting at the gallery. Date to be confirmed

Featured Artist
Words By Marion Brown

Traceyanne is an artist who has truly embraced her talent and is expressing it tirelessly. Her extensive portfolio covers all nature of artwork from watercolour to oils, photography to design and to cap it of a good knowledge of photoshop. Her paintings are extraordinary for the fact that she gains her inspiration from her fellow redbubblers, often taking their photos and turning them it original pieces of art. You get the sense that when you look at Tracey’s portfolio she could make a great success out of any field she chose to concentrate on. Her painting Moon at Night was voted most popular in the PiMT Challenge Out of the Blue in a very large field of competition and below you can see why.
