New Work by Anna Boss

Sally Stafford • Neil Pinkett • Richard Collier • Maggie Matthews

At Clifton Contemporary Art we’re showing a fascinating new collection of Cornish paintings by Anna Boss, Sally Stafford’s all-encompassing meadow canvases, Richard Collier’s powerful, ancient tree studies, Maggie Matthews’ beautiful Penwith nature paintings and Neil Pinkett’s raw, rich, elemental seascapes.

Anna’s latest work was made during a residence at Prussia Cove in South West Cornwall, which was once home to the artist Romi Behrens - a highly inspirational creative figure in every sense. Exploring the intricate network of hidden coves, headlands and countryside here, Anna’s subtle, evocative mixed media paintings combine a timeless sense of mystery and a strong sense of place. She has chosen to house each piece in a lovely old reclaimed oak frame, perfectly complementing their inscrutable character.

The mesmerising influence and dynamic beauty of the British countryside is expressed in dramatically different ways across our latest exhibition; from the sculpted permanence of granite and thousand year-old trees, to the fleeting delicacy of spring flowers and cloudscapes.
