Regrowth - New Oil Paintings By Fran Dibble

The oil paintings in Fran Dibble's latest series are about order.

“These are compositions of wild, random gardens with some element of precision placed on them – perfect circles, in one a gold orb, squares or a white windowsill.

It may remind us that this is a painting, and not a view out the window.

But the intent is a play off, each element a foil to the other; the random quality emphasised by the sudden oddity of such a precise shape, this appearing more exacting from the backdrop of busy expression.

You could read this as a comment on life itself, or of the psyche where the mind tries to impose logic and system on the emotional turmoil of being human.

The paint technique is applying it almost like a tapestry.

A small brush swerves and glides over the surface, dabbing colour and flicking lines.

It is not impressionist dashes to portray different light, but more as if stitched in paint; the painter in a role more as embroiderer. " - Fran Dibble, 2025

All works in the exhibition are oil paintings on board. One incorporates cast bronze leaves, while another features 24 carat gold leaf.

Exhibition runs until Sunday 2 March 2025.
