Janette Kerr is a foul-weather painter. Drawn to the perimeters of land, her work is an index of edges and ledges, exposed headlands and wind-swept seas.
‘My process of making paintings involves extremes and instabilities: peripheries and promontories – sites of instability and unknowing, places of rapid change and shifts both physically and meteorologically’.
In October 2016, Janette travelled to the High Arctic and spent three weeks on a ship sailing up the coast to Svalbard and Longyearbyen to Fuglefjorden. Her latest body of work represents her initial responses to the thunder grey and pale blue world, encounters with icebergs and glaciers, watching drifting mist hanging in dark snow-strewn mountains, hearing glaciers calving and sailing through a sea of luminous ice.
Janette Kerr was previously the President of the Royal West of England Academy and is a Visiting Research Fellow in Fine Art at the University of the West of England.
