London artist, Trish Wylie, is making a name for herself with her painterly
explorations of the cinematic genre. Her previously abstract leanings took a curious
turn when her love of painting and film merged to form a series of large and
colourful canvas works. In her series of ‘Western’ paintings, the leading stars of
classic western film take on an enigmatic yet iconic presence. As Robin Baker,
Curator of the BFI Media Teque, quoted, “These paintings melt into the films”.
Trish Wylie’s work was shortlisted for the John Moores prize in 2006 and featured in
The Best of the West show at the Study Gallery in Poole, alongside John Makepeace
and Brian Rice.
