An abstract gathering of forms that invites a closer look at the spaces between them.
In City Library, shapes outlined in dark, expressive lines sit closely together across the board. Deep blue, warm ochre, cream and soft green move through the composition, while the lighter background gives each form room to stand apart. Some suggest objects or figures; others remain open to the viewer’s imagination.
Elizabeth Harcourt’s practice is grounded in layering and reworking. Her background in textiles informs her attention to surface, and here the visible marks and changes in colour give the painting a tactile quality. The title offers a sense of place without prescribing a single story, leaving small relationships between the forms to be discovered over time.
At 40 × 61 cm, City Library would suit a living room, study, hallway or reading space, where its details can be enjoyed up close.
Curious. Layered. Thoughtful.
