Joan G Edwards - the work



​​

A breakthrough painting:


​
​Woodland Path to the Sea (1985)
gouache, 240 x 160 mm
private collection, Australia



Considered by the artist as marking a step forward towards a personal style, this small gouache was developed from the surface markings on a pebble, still conserved in the artist's studio.

Tree Fantasy - Mask (1986)
gouache, 413 x 286 mm
private collection, U.K.


from just a year later shows the considerable evolution towards the construction of images which are independent of the observed natural forms behind them

​




​Tree of Life I (1988)
gouache, 597 x 406 mm
private collection, Switzerland

​
The completed version of the work shown on the presentation page, this larger painting 
sets a rich combination of viscerally evocative elements - articulations of bone, a suggestion of wings, human profiles - against the power
​of natural forces.

​





​Seawards Blows the Wind (1995)
gouache, 445 x 700 mm
private collection, U.K.

​
​A return to a much more figurative language for this
​lyrical painting from seven years later.

Autumn Palm (1990)
gouache, 607 x 387 mm
private collection, U.K.


​
​A palm tree fuses with an African dancer
in the foreground of this deliberately non-literal
suggestion of a Cornish valley and beach,
of village houses, cliffs and many other elements.
One notes also the very conscious control of colour.

​Entrance to a Bay III (1997)
gouache, 324 x 654 mm
collection of the artist


Typical of a number of 'landscapes' which are much less straightforward than they at first appear, thanks to the subtlety with which multiple horizons and viewpoints or other contradictory elements are integrated.
