Jane Hedges Paintings
We moved to Monkton Wyld in West Dorset in 2005 and were able to start work again in 2008/2009 : in the summer of 2009 we had an exhibition together in the Town Mill Galleries in Lyme Regis and Jane had an Open Studio at Little Goyle as part of Dorset Visual Arts Weeks in June 2010. We both had work in the 'Circles and Tangents' exhibition curated by Vivienne Light at the County Museum Dorchester recently and Jane is showing her work again this year in the biennial Dorset Art Weeks Open Studios.
JANE HEDGES
Jane studied at Brighton, The University for the Creative Arts at Maidstone and Goldsmiths College London and taught for many years specialising in painting and drawing. Her intricate abstract compositions are a response to the changing colours and play of light in her garden, the local landscape and views from her studio or the experiences of foreign travel. She uses abstraction to generalise particular visual experiences; the fragmentation of light through trees, the isolation of views and colour through doors and windows, the illumination of the everyday world through positive and negative shapes; the sensations and responses we experience are expressed in paint. The picture surface is constantly rearranged and repeatedly layered creating an illusion of depth, intriguing colour harmonies and complex rhythms evoking the ever changing qualities in nature.
