About this artwork
Rumination means a deep or considered thought. It can also mean obsessive thinking. Cobbin worked over this painting continually for several months, changing the colour and scraping back. A homage to Rothko, in colour and mood perhaps? A glimpse of stratified bands across the centre elude to a landscape. Cobbin wants to respond emotionally to her work. She invites the viewer to project their own interpretation.

« My work is an inquiry into simplicity, harmony and emotional response – paring things down so that emptiness, form, color and light are held in balance, and the overall result appears effortless. »
Michelle Cobbin is an accomplished British painter whose work has featured in prominent shows throughout the UK. There are several recurring themes that are important to her: simplicity, harmony and emotional response. Implicit in all her work is an idea about connective awareness: seeing things in relation to things. For Cobbin, this links to the traditional definition of ‘mindfulness’ as an alert, receptive awareness that brings a quality of breadth to experience.
