Belinda Mason
New Zealand
Artist
After years of exploring pastel and watercolour I have recently begun working in oils on canvas, drawn to the creamy textures and the ability of oils to be moved around the surface.
This has allowed me to lose the sharp edges and complicated lines of realism, and in its place leave an impression of the subject that glows in the shadows.
‘Mason's art is broadly impressionistic. Looming from an inky dark background, flowers are presented as hesitantly blurry forms, so that it is colour rather than form which strikes the viewer.’
