'The Secret Life of Trees' is an abstract landscape painting. It is a screen-printed collage of collected old photographs which have been layered to give hints and glimpses of past memories. The collage is layered, superimposed and intertwined to merge with a landscape of trees - it is as if the landscape holds a 'secret life' of past memories. From a series of abstract landscapes entitled 'Altered States' (2014).
Original Silk-Screen Print, collage and oil painting on canvas, measuring 145cm x 100 cm
About the artist:
Jane Davies is a multidisciplinary artist taking inspiration from the world around her - in particular the shapes and textures of the natural world. An early love of drawing and painting has led to learning and experimenting with all types of hand-pulled printmaking - with a particular focus and passion for silkscreen printmaking.
Jane started by creating silkscreen prints in a monochrome colour palette, mainly mixed media prints of abstract landscapes which she created whilst working out of the London Print Studio 2010-2020. A move to rural Dorset has coincided with a new found love of colour, and simple pop art prints of the natural world now feature alongside oil paintings of Dorset's Jurassic coastline which provides inspiration all year round.
