Slow Revolution - Marie Lenclos

Oil on linen (2020). Slow Revolution is a colour-bursting landscape that is at once precise and blurred. Predominantly made of a multitude of greens, with interfering lines of greys, blues and reds, this bijou oil painting evokes a country scene. One perhaps perceived through a moving train window. With her signature linear structure, Lenclos once again plays with our vision and interpretation, evoking a landscape that is not quite attainable.

Lenclos is a French painter who lives and works in London. She studied at the Royal College of Art and Camberwell College of Art. Her work is centred around three main themes: urban landscapes, geometric abstracts and trees. All have in common her unique sense of lines, light and colour.

Lenclos' collection of geometric abstract paintings, especially created for Linley's, takes inspiration from the natural world: sea, sky, landscapes. A brief encounter with a specific light and set of colours seen in the natural world provokes in Lenclos an abstract interpretation focussing on the mood or emotion of that moment.

Marie Lenclos lets her intuition guide the initial drawing, where dynamic lines are traced with ink on the linen surface. Once the structure is drawn, the painting comes to life through Lenclos' superb sense of colour. She paints free hand, letting the brush caress the canvas to create echoing gradients of colour from which a landscape slowly emerges.

This painting is framed in a modernist inspired bespoke walnut tray frame.
