Contemporary Paintings and Modern Art Prints
Welcome to the website of Rosemary Abrahams which is a showcase for her many contemporary paintings, some of which are also available as modern art prints available in the shop.
Painting Styles
Rosemary’s work has developed along 4 different genres – landscapes, florals, abstracts and seascapes. Her pre-occupation with paint effects and surface texture runs through all aspects of her work. The result is a body of work with discernable common features, but which manifests infinite variety in its realisation Some of these works are now available as mounted art prints for the first time in the new shop.
Painting Methods
Her paintings are produced on a wide range of canvasses from 2 metres plus to intimate pieces no more than 20cm square. The surface of the work is enriched by the use of a thick plaster ground, which can be incised to create line work, which then permits the application of both colour washes and saturated colour. The paintings are further enriched by the application of metal foils and pearlescent pigments.
Painting Influences
Influences throughout Rosemary’s life have included Ben Nicholson, Terry Frost, The St Ives School, Matisse from the French Impressionists, the New York Expressionists – Rothko especially and Rauchenburg and continues the tradition of abstract expressionism into today’s art world.
