Aimee Shardlow produces paintings that evoke place through representation and gestural mark-making, to transcend the act of replication. Blurring the boundary between land and sea, her practice aims to capture the liminality of the Cornish, Coastal landscape. 

​

At the centre of this practice is a fascination with time elapsing. The landscape, as an ever-changing vessel, captures this through its impermeability: it is never the same twice. The process of painting allows Shardlow to elongate an instantaneous moment, using dynamic mark-making to manipulate time within the image. Aimee's obsession with mark-making results in abstract layers of paint that, on close observation, appear as a hurried assemblage of shape and colour, that come together to produce a pictorial landscape painting.
