Penmaen Bend Revisited (2017)Oil painting by Emma Cownie

This style is called "refractionist" and was based on the post impressionist idea of cloisonnism with bold and flat forms separated by dark contours.
The term refers to cloisonné, a specific kind of early European, Chinese and Japanese metalwork. The technique requires that compartments (cloisons) created with metal wires or strips separate areas of pure enamel color.

Penmaen is in the Gower Peninsula, near Swansea.
This painting is a ‘peeking out’ view from a car, slipping out of a parking area which serves as a place to park and then walk down a rubbly, sole stabbing lane, to either the bays, Three Cliffs or Tor.
The view of the road, double yellowed lined, shows a distant bend. The yellow lines warn off and discourage day trippers and tourists from the temptation of parking here, illegally and dangerously. A temptation which is ripe when the car park is full.

This painting is a "revisit" to a location and painting which has sold previously on Artfinder, "Penmaen Bend".
