Artist Statement

Yvonne Rees-Pagh

As an artist I have always been concerned with producing work that reflects my feelings in relation to events that shape our world. In the past my work has explored themes such as war, political upheaval and ecological issues. On reflection, I can identify that there has been a violence undercurrent running through many of these works; not only in their subject matter but also in the way I have used my materials.

In my painting, I have always physically connected with and immersed myself in the process of making, a desire formed early in my art training when I was introduced to the working methods of the Abstract Expressionists. I was immediately emotionally attracted to these methods. My painting process employs layers of expressionist mark making in conjunction with extreme physical actions that disrupt the surface of the paint, such as erasing, scraping, and gouging. This approach to painting has directly influenced my printmaking in which I have always employed and strived to use unconventional processes and materials, towards creating prints that possess a tactile and evocative feel. In contrast to traditional printmaking, my works are unique state prints; they are not editioned. Most are multiple panel assemblages, envisaged as a unified whole.
