Marnie Ross is a contemporary painter & printmaker based in Sydney. Marnie’s abstract landscape works are a response to organic forms, in particular the evolving shadow patterns cast by tiny details seen in the natural environment. Nature’s ever-changing designs created by light, movement and time inspire multi-layered compositions of vividly coloured shapes. Her work represents the moments captured as nature is continually reorganised. Abstract landscapes have been reduced to minimal compositions, directing the focus to colour relationships and tones.

Activation of the surface is an integral part of Marine’s practice and adds to the diversity of texture as bold graphic forms float on a base of wood or linen. She also explores the contrast between soft dusky tones and saturated bold colours, further enhanced by the variation in paint application in thin frosty glazes and solid layers.
