About The Artwork

From my ‘Paintings of Plants’ collection inspired by the many pot plants that I surround myself with at home. Gathered over the years, they have become a feature of my city life in London, living in flats and converted warehouses where plants gather onto window ledges and balconies. I wanted to convey the individual character of each plant, their lopsided leaf arrangements and vibrant natural greens. This one is a Dragon Plant in a ceramic painted pot. An evergreen tree, known for it’s long slender leaves, that form at the tops of an upright trunk, give the plan an attractive shaggy-headed look similar to that of palm trees. Painted in a flattened modern style,each plant picture was painted in one day, using oil on heavy weight paper, using small flat head brushes. The composition uses a complimentary colour balance, make of the plant’s natural green foliage and playing this against the red of a trunk or terracotta pot. The picture is unframed.

My name is Lorna Robertson (b.1986 Aberdeen), I am based in East London, working in oil paint. The key themes of my practice are intimate portraits of people and objects. I work mainly figuratively, with some still life, working from people posed in my studio, or small arrangements of objects and plants. My processes in the studio, combine an interest in the subjects with formal questions. A lot of my work is driven by questions of colour, space, shape and distorting those things, in an ongoing project of balancing form and tone, that capture the character of a person or object. After graduating I worked as part of the art and design collective Kith Kin, going on to work in the exhibition production team at the Tate gallery. Alongside my painting, I now work at the Getty Images Photography Archive and Gallery, where I produce their limited edition and signed fine art prints from their archival photographic collection. I live in Hackney in East London, in a warehouse studio (in a converted ex-factory building from the 1990s).Here is where I paint and run a small business producing and selling limited edition fine art prints.
