Rosemary Burn masterfully captures everyday scenes, imbuing objects with a quiet dignity of their own. What we might consider mere ingredients – vegetables, the fruits of a harvest, or an un-minced garlic bulb – hold their own resonances and beauty. Burn pays careful attention to their sculptural forms and delectable colours; lest we forget, the fruits of our labour are also the gifts of nature. And for Burn these natural objects can come up against the man-made in comedic ways, as she shows a cat pawing at electrics or focuses on a Coke bottle refracting light. Through developing an impressionist-realist style, she depicts the truth of these forms with a lightness of touch and singular focus. Whether painting meandering figures or interior scenes, her work is full of wonder and delight. Rosemary was selected for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2023.
