It is rare to find in the contemporary art world a young landscape painter that exhibits such mastery and maturity of touch over the genre. Yet looking at Frances Ackland-Snow’s haunting and mystical landscapes, it is apparent that her work is something out of the ordinary. Her sweeping, often monumental scenes, grab the viewers attention not only because of their obvious power and technical skill, but because there is an undeniable emotional undercurrent at play.
Frances’ work is forged from her feelings of wonder, desire, longing; her memories of landscapes and places that have touched her; and her own passion and desire to make art that is compelling and unforgettable. As emotive as her work is, here is nothing sweet or sentimental about her landscapes - the passion and power she achieves through her vigorous brushwork, use of multilayered and textured paint and rich colour palette imbues her work with atmospheric strength and eternal appeal.
