Summer Whites (2016)Oil painting by Emma Cownie

The title take it's name from sport and the appearance of all-white outfits at Wimbledon and The Oval which normally appear in the height of summer as does this gentleman's garb.

This man stands out in from those gathered around in this city street, resplendent in his summer "whites".
The colouring and composition are again influenced by American artists.

"Emma's paintings paintings are lively and capture the fleeting moments of day and night in the Swansea streets. A very strong visual impact is derived from bold blocks of colours and an expressive palette that is widely used in modern art and pop art. The cinematic compositions and dramatic use of light and dark in her artworks, particularly in those night scenes where I observe some tranquility and alienation in a busy city, almost draw a subtle connection to the pieces of Edward Hopper.

Her depiction of pedestrians and streets of Swansea in rain creates an enigmatic atmosphere which tempts the viewers for more.
I particularly like the figurative works which I think capture the everyday nuances of normal people going about their daily life"
