Jennifer Anderson
Jennifer Anderson, a Scottish painter, combines clear-eyed examination
with formidable illusionistic skill, producing sensitive, haunting
portraits. Within tightly-cropped compositions, illuminated by unsparing
mid-winter light, she conveys the real, weighty physicality of her
subjects friends, lovers, strangers while at the same
time hinting at the inaccessibility of their inner lives. Her work
explores with candour the complexity of visual experience, enumerating
the tiny shifts in colour that we read as warm skin, lank hair, or
pale fabric. The blue-green tonality lends these works a very distinctive
coolness, which somehow suits their theme: the artist's intense observation
poised against her subjects' reserve.
Jennifer Anderson is one of Scotland's most promising young artists.
In 1997 she graduated from Duncan of Jordanstone College Dundee with
a first class honours degree and since then has exhibited her work
to great acclaim at both group and solo shows north and south of the
border. In addition she has won several notable prizes and twice been
selected to exhibit at the annual BP Portrait Exhibition.
