About Dee Ferris
Dee Ferris’s paintings depict misty glimpses of her subjects, recognition of which is entirely dependent upon the viewer. Ambivalent abstraction of shadows and blurry outlines of familiar and unfamiliar landscapes create a quiet, subconscious communication between the painting and the audience. One can detect forests, fields, silhouettes of horses and rivers, but one can never be sure. Ferris’ choice of subtle, gloomy colours accentuates the ephemeral atmosphere of her works. The artist’s abstract oils on canvas constitute poetry of distant memories or hazy reminders, producing a skillful delicacy albeit an absence of figurative detail. Even at their darkest shades, Ferris’ large-scale paintings remain translucent, submerged in an unadulterated feeling.
