About Janette Kerr :
Delighting in sudden and unpredictable changes in the weather, Janette Kerr is a painter of the northern landscape – a foul-weather painter who enjoys being out in, and working from the landscape at its extremes. ‘My paintings’, writes Kerr, ‘are about movement and the rhythms of sea and wind, swelling and breaking waves, the merging of spray with air, advancing rain and mist, glancing sunlight - elements that seem to be about something intangible.’
While spending most of her time painting Shetland seas, she also travels extensively - always to wild weather-scoured places - in 2016 sailing along the coast of Svalbard in the High Arctic on board a tall ship called the Antigua with a group of international artists, and walking in snow storms on an international residency in Skagastrond, NW Iceland during 2020. In 2022 she spent 2 months in Greenland, living in a remote settlement called Oqaatsut.
Janette Kerr is an Academician and past president of the Royal West of England Academy of Art, and an Honorary Academician of the Royal Scottish Academy of Art. She exhibits regularly in the UK and has work in private and public collections, both nationally and internationally. She has received Art Council funding for her research and development projects, and won several awards.
Artist’s statement :
These paintings are inspired by my sketchbook drawings and paintings made en-plein-air in Shetland. The paintings are created by working in oil paint on a white gesso base, using brushes, palette knives and even fingers. Building the paint in layers, wiping back and adding more paint, sometimes drawing into the wet paint. As I’m painting on the boards the small sketches are there, lying around the studio, reminding me of the places I was in. So the final paintings are less about making a painting of a seascape but rather about a sense of being surrounded by the sea – where I can feel, smell, and even taste it.
