Scottish born artist Gwen Hardie lives and works in NYC. Hardie sees the canvas as an object, painting into its shape and transforming the flat square into a three dimensional illusion. Balancing one colour against another as if under magnification, she blends seamless gradients of tone and saturation between them, to present a radiant foreground that hovers and glows. She takes inspiration from colour, light and shadow in nature - in particular how warm and cool colours interact to create varying depths of field.
