Margaret Fane

Margaret Fane, who has been painting for a good many years, moves between the familiar and the unfamiliar, between the representational and the abstract. In both styles, she has the courage to innovate with both materials and the application of paint – between traditional representation and heavy sculptural effect, always looking for that most elusive thing – a style that does not degenerate into a recognisable cliche. Her work is always changing and risks are always being taken.
Her most notable feature is her colouring. She is most definitely a colourist over and above everything else, and her grasp of the relation of colours to each other is both intuitive and visually well grounded.
