artist: Petra Dippold Goetz artist: Pauline Rignall
Pauline Rignall, is a painter who has great depth in both the classic painting process and
creating contemporary work that is instinctive in application. I know her and her work quite
well after I had interviewed her for painters Tubes magazine a number of years ago.
Her work has deep intellectual thinking behind the seemingly ease of creation.
The artists subject matter holds visual intelligence in colour palette choice for each different
series she works on. And the works final composition, which is arrived at over a period of
time, are always a delight to the eye and the mind.
Pauline has a special interest in myths and legends, but the bulk of her work is landscape
painted in the tradition of the late and great J.M.W.Turner. The artist use of diffused lighting
and semi-abstract application is something which she has worked on for many years and is
reaching a zenith of paint application...it is simply quite superb work.
