About this artwork
New work. May 2020
Many factors dictate the result of my work; the rhythm and speed of my movement; aggressive or gently, my rhythm, the tempo, how I stand, the angle of my arm, how my hand grips the brush; if I flick, stroke, cut or push.
I take only seconds to decide to keep or re-make. I look at form, impasto or translucent. It’s as basic as a like or dislike for their value and relationship to each other. If I’m unhappy with a mark I scrape… it away and re-make it. My face can be a few centimetres from the surface, observing and absorbing each mark as it is made, lifting my eyes to enjoy the emptiness in front or re-assess those behind.

« The concept is gemination: ”No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.” -Heraclitus of Ephesus. »
Roanne O'Donnell is an award-winning Scottish painter and draftsman whose work has been exhibited in the United Kingdom, Spain, Norway, and Germany. The subject of her work is inextricably linked to the process of making it, which includes concepts and actions of limitation, restriction, and repetition. Describing herself as a 'process painter', O'Donnell limits her materials to ivory black pigment, graphite, and charcoal, using cold wax and oil as binders on paper.
