Rowena Comrie

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
