Boo Mallinson
Abstract Landscape
Boo’s paintings are inspired by her Dorset surroundings and the sense of being very present in the landscape. Some paintings remain close to their origins, hinting at a place visited or remembered and these paintings are often smaller and more gestural, translating ideas quickly and embracing chance and accident. Other paintings evolve slowly and are re-worked, building up the surface organically and allowing Boo to translate ambiguous images into new compositions. These larger paintings are still about a visual encounter with the landscape, yet there is a process of simplification, allowing her to explore colour and abstraction and to move intuitively between the real and the imaginary. Boo studied Fine Art at The Byam Shaw School or Art and City or Guilds School of Art in London and moved to Dorset in 2002. She exhibits widely across the UK.
