Moving from abstraction to figuration, Phoebe Unwin creates images
that seem to float within an indeterminate space and time The title
of Phoebe Unwin's project holds many different connotations. The
'field' could be a landscape, but also a colour field, or the field
of vision. It is an in-between place, a traditional subject in
painting, which allows the artist to hover between figuration and
abstraction, to investigate the formal aspects of her medium.
Investigating the concept of landscape and how the human figure
interacts with its surroundings, Unwin uses painting to construct a
delicate alternation of horizons, whose varying distances elicit
different paces of observation. The layered, porous surface of her
works and hazy depiction of her subjects also generate a dynamic
kind of vision within each painting, and an intimate link between
the works. Through a process that moves from abstraction to
figuration, where matter becomes sign and figures swim up out of
colour, Unwin creates images that seem to float within an
indeterminate space and time. Her paintings are visual places whose
possibilities are infinite; the intrinsic story of the works is
neither defined nor definitive and new versions of it are
constantly revealed, emerging through the viewer's active gaze.
