CONTEMPORARY ART STOCKROOM Annika Romeyn

Striving to connect the realms of micro and macro, representation and abstraction, Romeyn’s recent artworks are inspired by rock formations and geomorphology. Beyond describing the rock-face and its multiplicity of form, Romeyn hopes to create experiential artworks coloured by her memories and feelings of wilderness areas actively explored by foot, raft or kayak. Working across the mediums of drawing, painting and printmaking she is particularly interested in manipulating the luminosity of watercolor to bring the canyon wall to life, as a site of intersection between the intimate and the infinite, the immediate and the ancient.

My starting point is often an object collected, or photograph taken within the landscape. This source of material is then pushed, pulled and studied from multiple perspectives, allowing me to revisit and reimagine the environment whilst exploring connections between the humble and the sublime.
