FRAGMENTED LANDSCAPES OF ULSTER
Siobhan Atkins
Free Entry – Riverside Theatre Gallery/ Café
16th September - 19th October 2025
The work is a series of eight mixed media paintings on Loxley deep box canvases. The dimensions are 12 inch x 12 inch x 1.5 inches deep.
Inspiration for this collection springs from two sources. The first is a rejection of ordered nature, a move away from ornamentation, away from imposing design on the landscape. Secondly, a wish to fully celebrate the everyday. In meditation practice there is joy to be found in simplicity. The attempt is to convey the seemingly mundane, the stolen moments, unique perspectives solidified in paint of particularly Irish landscapes. Perhaps glimpsed from the window of a rainy car journey, perhaps remembered from a dream or halcyon memory. The treatment hopes to represent the fragmented way in which we recall landscape, not in a photographically realistic manner but instead layered impressions or snapshots; how the sun hit the leaves and made the berries ripen, how seasons showed in the heather, how the mountain imposed itself.
