Rosemary Parcell
New Zealand artist Rosemary Parcell was born at Tarras, Central Otago and graduated from Ilam
Art School. She has painted and exhibited regularly since 1975 and has taught Art and Art History in NZ and Australian
secondary schools, in Dunedin, Gisborne and Auckland and Melbourne. Her subject is mainly of figures and still life. Being passionate about horse riding and in particular the discipline of dressage has seen this translates into a very contemporary version of the horse. This latest work, the horse compositions and paintings, are a continuation
of the still life theme, with rather more studies of the discipline of structural
detail, and more emphasis on the choreography of Dressage, as a series of
numerical relationships. But essentially they still deal with arrangements
of the figure within the frame. "To answer the criticism of the cropped rider's head, usually from non-riders: in fact if the rider is very capable s/he becomes invisible, and the horse appears to go miraculously of it's own volition without evident direction, and really the rider is identifiable by their hands and seat alone, their position.. And further, the second face or psyche is such a distraction, a double point of focus, very diffusive and destabilising to the composition, and so often the human face betrays such effort and angst. Also it is then possible to imagine the rider to be anyone, even one's own self. |
