Overview
VICTORIA WYLIE , A response to the visual tensions when sky, sea and & land meet
“This new collection of paintings reflect on memories from the West Coast, specifically around Mellon Udrigle Beach. Weather watching, sitting in quietness and enjoying the therapeutic experience of sea swimming. Also included in this collection are reflections from closer to home – explorations from the foothills of the Cairngorms extending along the Angus coastline.”

Victoria makes contemporary abstract landscape paintings from her home studio in Angus. Her paintings are a celebration of the natural world. Exploring the wilderness of Scotland’s land and sea, and finding solitary moments surrounded by nature.

 

Horizon lines fascinate her. This comes from growing up close to the North Yorkshire Moors – the vast stretches of openness inform her work in many ways. Her paintings respond to the changing elements and the rhythm of the landscape as she explores the visual tensions that arise when sky meets sea meets land. The paintings are memories of these moments and while each artwork is a reflection from a particular place, they encompass numerous experiences – each painting lends a fragment of itself to the next.
