About Anna Somerville :: Resonance
Building on the themes of her 2022 exhibition Reminiscence, Anna Somerville deepens her exploration of memory, place, and the evocative capacities of paint. Her palette instinctively echoes the shifting tones of the Scottish landscape.
Working predominantly on wooden panels, alongside a small number of linen surfaces, she embraces the materiality of each ground, drawing on a painterly sensibility informed as much by the history and language of painting as by what she refers to as 'found paintings' — surfaces weathered over time, revealing accidental painterly compositions. The move to panel has introduced a different quality of surface within her work — offering new possibilities for layering and revealing earlier layers of work.
Her "paintscapes" evoke atmospheric terrains shaped through memory, material exploration, and intuitive process. Horizons loom and recede, suggesting the pull of past, present, and future, opening meditative spaces for reflection.
