  • A PAUSE IN HISTORY BY LISA PARKYN

    £500.00

    Created as part of ‘Delving Beneath Series’ – a body of work started during 2020 pandemic lockdown, which has helped me make sense of the shifts going on around the world and reflect on what is meaningful in life.

    I tapped into my love for the unique textures that occur in nature, on weathered walls, old billboards and rusting metal – the scars of time, symbolising memories and keepsakes.

    Exploring the process of adding and subtracting until a balance is found. Using various methods of layering and piecing together fragments through mixed media and then scraping, sanding and peeling off – metaphorically delving deeper to discover what lies beneath and our hidden strengths.

    Framed size 35 x 35cm
    Image size 30.5 x 30.5cm
    Acrylic and mixed media on wood panel.
    Ready to hang in an off-white tray frame.
    The painting is initialed on the front, signed on the back and the surface is protected with UV safe varnish.

  • TRACES OF TIME BY LISA PARKYN

    £500.00

    Created as part of my new body of work started at the beginning of lockdown March 2020, which has helped me make sense of the shifts going on around the world and reflect on what is meaningful in life.

    Using various methods of layering, piecing together fragments through mixed media and scraping, sanding and peeling off – metaphorically delving deeper to discover what lies beneath and our own hidden strengths. I have also added fossil transfers and tapped into my love for the unique textures that occur on weathered walls, old billboards and rusting metal, showing the scars of time. Exploring the process of adding and subtracting – painting layers, mark-making and glueing pieces on and then gouging and scraping off until a balance is found.

  • WINGS OF THE SEA BY LISA PARKYN

    £350.00

    I have always had a deep affinity with the natural world and draw inspiration from the textures, colour, patterns and atmosphere experienced whilst exploring the surrounding countryside and nearby Jurassic coast. This tranquil piece forms part of a small series and the abstract nature allows the viewer their own imagination and interpretation.

  • UNDER THE MIRROR BY LISA PARKYN

    £3,000.00

    So often we have to hold it together, grit teeth, keep calm and carry on. This painting reminds me of the contained chaos we have to hold at times and of what really goes on under the calm surface. Created during the pandemic with built up layers on panel – shapes, colours and textures inspired by the exquisite surrounding landscape here in Devon, UK. I love the raw, expressionistic feel of this piece. Part of an ongoing series looking at ways we cope with stress and trauma and how it manifests in our mind and body.

  • TEASE OUT THE TANGLE BY LISA PARKYN

    £2,500.00

    Created as the UK emerged from the pandemic lock-down, I loved working on this colourful piece! It forms part of an ongoing series looking at how we process and make sense of the jumble of information that we soak up during challenging times – the facts and figures from the media and all kinds of opinions from social media and the resulting emotions. It is a challenge to make sense of the madness at times. I tried not to take myself too seriously – here choosing to express some of the quirky beauty that nature and life has to offer.

    Ready to hang in an oak-stained frame.

  • POEMS FOR THE SOUL BY LISA PARKYN

    £2,500.00

    Created as the UK emerged from the pandemic lock-down, this painting is all about how we rebuild ourselves and what we choose to keep – the beauty of nature, laughter, friendship, love and generosity, and how we take that forward. It forms part of an ongoing series looking at how we process and make sense of the jumble of information that we soak up during challenging times – the facts and figures from the media and all kinds of opinions from social media and the resulting emotions.
