Water 31. Italy (2011) Painting by Joanne Mumford

Water 31. Part of the ‘emotion and spirituality’ series of paintings. Eroded white tile, reclamation, transience, and the non-visible planes. Does all that we encounter shape and form who we are or do our reactions to these instances continually confirm a state to which we were awarded and are confined so as to reinforce being our natural make up[...]
Water 31. Part of the ‘emotion and spirituality’ series of paintings. Eroded white tile, reclamation, transience, and the non-visible planes. Does all that we encounter shape and form who we are or do our reactions to these instances continually confirm a state to which we were awarded and are confined so as to reinforce being our natural make up despite all that we encounter? This is one of a progression of paintings that contemplates my affinities. For me, many of these paintings represent some feelings of belonging and at finding states where one seems most real and comfortable.

Joanne Mumford - British artist based in France. I have a degree in Fine Art and a history of both collaborative and solo exhibitions.

My paintings are images of natural components, with considerations about the unseen, the innate and the acquired. This mulling over of thoughts and trying to pinpoint various aspects and dimensions with explanations is inherent to creating my art.

I produce both large canvases and comparatively smaller ones. I paint and simultaneously evaluate an image, analysing and displaying reactions and consequences, which often result in visually concentrated representations, in either a raw or a more refined manner.

A number of my paintings have been sold to private collectors internationally and having lived in London for many years, I now reside in Alpes-Maritimes, France.

Notable exhibitions include A Brush With Art, Group Show at Château Lascaris, Gorbio, France, February-May 2023 exhibiting 13 oil on canvas paintings and 17 oil on canvas paintings in my solo exhibition Energy Creation And Differing Form, at St.John's English Library, Menton, France, 12th May - 7th June 2022. Also, 14 oil on canvas paintings in my solo exhibition; Water, Ice & the ranges of understanding, 2nd -27th August 2016 at Pictorem Gallery in London E17. Previously invited to exhibit eleven large oil paintings at 60 Threadneedle Street for a four month solo show in London. Other exhibitions include the Visual Arts Centre for a solo exhibition of oil paintings in the 'Water Series' - awarded as part of the Big Arts Submission. The 17th Century Barn at Thames Chase, Upminster, The 491 Gallery, The Hospital in Covent Garden when I was short-listed for the Nationwide Mercury Art Prize 2006 and the Degree Show at The Old Truman Brewery, London.
