Helena Conlon at Bankley Studios

My work currently involves the investigation into the materials used in oil painting. This includes various media and binders. This process results in differing levels of viscosity of oil.

I am also exploring the optical qualities of various pigments, such as metallic, iridescent, interference and duo-chrome pigments, which refract and interfere with reflected light.

This combination enables thought-provoking surfaces to emerge. The often fortuitous results allow the viewer's imagination the luxury of fantasy.
