Penelope Metcalf

Whether working in her studio or in front of her kitchen cupboard, Metcalf adopts a plein-air approach and transforms her still life compositions into little landscapes.

The result is a series of oil on timber paintings that find drama and beauty in both random and considered arrangements, celebrate ordinary objects and make the modest appear monumental.
