George Rowlett: Paintings of Sarah Price's Garden
Vibrant exhibition at the Garden Museum of paintings by George Rowlett of garden designer Sarah Price’s own garden. I was struck by the smell as I walked towards this show as the paint was think impasto which still gave off a lovely oily scent. The paint was over a centimetre thick in places and had a wonderful sense of texture. In the commentary it said that Rowlett uses decorators scrapers to apply the paint and sets up a large tarpaulin under his easel as it’s such a messy process. The finished works have a real sense of being objects not just paintings and I loved their sense of colour and vibrancy. Closes 4 August 2019
