With chromatic audacity, Robin Patterson resists the temptation of pastoral nostalgia. Instead, she offers an immersive experience of summer. Robin moves confidently between description and suggestion; passages of opaque intensity yield to translucent veils, allowing green, ochre, and violet to surface and recede. The radiant expanse of yellow is not passive sunlight, does not simply merely suggest summer; colour saturates the canvas until it becomes the very embodiment of summer as state rather than place.
Breathe Deeply of Summer is an exploration of perception; how light fractures across terrain, how summer’s heat blurs the edge between form and atmosphere.
