Hester Berry - Crumbling Imagery - Pseudo Abstract Landscapes

I love these paintings by Devonshire artist Hester Berry because the closer you get to them the more the image diffuses or cracks or shatters to impsto marks that made them.

I try to use the marks available to me as economically as possible, distilling the image/feeling/moment into what is necessary. Paint enables me to explore my world, and lends a voice with which to comment on modern life. HESTER BERRY
