Statement
Educated at the University of Reading, taught by Terry Frost,
and Mali Morris, Rowena Comrie has used the
aesthetics of colourfield and abstract expressionism as potent
means of communication. Working from her Glasgow studio,
she continues to capture fleeting visions that arrive from long
developed ideas. Her method requires a spontaneous and
energetic means of paint application tempered by an objective
assessment of chance occurrences, known to surrealists as
‘Objective Chance’.
Rowena spent her youth in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, and those
seaside years left a lasting love of coastal environments,
sublime horizons and infinite skies. She has now been based in
Glasgow for 13 years having previously spent 20 years in
Aberdeen
