film: @rancefilm

closely inspired by the countryside surrounding her home, jo rance’s vivid paintings thrum with life and the joy of nature’s abundance. across her landscape scenes, unexpected juxtapositions of pastel, earthy, and acidic hues coalesce to respond to natural seasons and cycles. combining colour blocking techniques with highly detailed textural elements, her myriad brush strokes are determined by the shapes and textures of nonhuman forms, from the gleam of a smooth birch trunk or the softness of a clouded sky to the tiny wind-blown strands of meadow grass.
