Dawn Reader Paintings

There’s a wonderfully luminous quality of light that London based artist Dawn Reader distills and captures in these large scale oil paintings.

‘Sparkling Water’ illustrates Dawn’s commitment to building up multiple layers of glazes to capture a singular moment from nature’s perpetual canvas. It holds an incredible stillness and sense of calm within its depiction of waves breaking upon a shore.

A fluid and fleeting experience is transformed into a timeless meditation on the elements that surround us. A study on the stuff of life.

I can imagine being surrounded by these Dawn Reader paintings as an almost Rothko-esque experience where light, form and colour envelop the senses.

Dawn talks about extracting a ‘spiritual serenity’ through a limited colour palette and by focusing on what’s essential. That tranquil gaze is evident in each painting and allows us to see the world through the lens of wonder.
