Painter Stella Mann works in acrylic and gouache that are perfectly suited to expressing the clarity and atmosphere depicted in her subjects. many of her European landscapes are born of a close acknowlegement to aerial perspective giving her colours a bright almost electric sharpness.

This concept may be taken further as reflections and cloud effects distort colour to its limits. There is a certain Fauvist manner to this type of palette although Stella Manns work remains distinctly figurative. Unlike the typical Fauvist manner of using flat areas of colour to describe familiar forms. Stella Mann's paintings give us an adventure in travel. These are paintings of journeys to specific places and we can relate to them as almost 'location shots' with strength of mood and feeling.

The artist works to commission in acrylic and gouache with landscape and still-life subjects. The normal time to complete work is one month to a price range of £200 - £300 unframed.
