    Madeline Peckenpaugh is an American born artist whose practice focuses on striking landscapes that engulf the viewer in unique synaesthetic experiences. Drawing inspiration from nature, Peckenpaugh uses the exterior world to delve into the subconscious, exploring the role that the environment plays on the self.

  • This new body of work channels chaos and tension, resulting in complex scenes that exist on the verge of abstraction. To achieve this complexity, Peckenpaugh works with multiple layers of paint, building depth and texture. When describing her process Peckenpaugh notes, "I want to continuously surprise myself and have the material transformation take the lead". Each work is an interplay between removing and building coats of paint, while the finished pieces reveal what was previously concealed. Textures assume a key role in the artist’s visual language and in the reading of the paintings.

     

    Peckenpaugh explains, "I'm most interested in using multiple languages of painting to merge different spaces and textures into one, creating a new environment". The intricately detailed compositions remove the singular focal point, allowing for narrative ambiguity. The works can elicit a serene, almost contemplative quality that is further emphasized by the lack of human presence.

  • Displayed in a dedicated space in our Mayfair gallery, this presentation is open to the public, providing an intimate and informal environment from which to acquaint yourself with Peckenpaugh's works. Reserving a viewing slot is essential, so please make sure to book ahead of time.
