Statement:
In Edwin Aitken's recent paintings and drawings, a number of recognisable images based upon anatomy and the natural world are generated as a part of a more outwardly expressive and intuitive approach to drawing and painting. Plant and animal motifs coalesce and combine in works that explore tensions between seemingly opposite impulses, ideas and working practices. Often made on location in Epping Forest, the paintings are a non-literal representation of a number of visual and emotional experiences of the landscape.
