Jeff Willmore’s contemporary ‘takes’
on the traditions of landscape incorporate an amazing colour sense,
juicy paint, personal penciled notes and reflections on painting
as both a window to view the world as well as a concrete three-dimensional
‘thing’ or object in and of itself, created with the
human touch. He pays attention to particular views, locations
and weather conditions experienced in the near north.
This postmodern approach is reinforced with
text, as when Jeff Willmore writes notes about the very process
of painting as well as what catches his attention and perhaps
even the time of day and place or subject matter or place he is
painting. Drips and drops of watery colour show us his every move
with a brush as he goes across the canvas. Yet the subject matter
includes Jeff’s very intimate knowledge and lifetime experience
of the north country. His work is a kind of portrait of his relationship
with the land, with nature. Shapes, lines and intense colour are
coupled with such energy that Jeff Willmore energizes us too with
his infectious enthusiastic love of painting.
