Abstract
Under the signature P.K. Irwin, poet P.K. Page has created a body of work in the visual arts. Exploring plastic concepts of rhythm and texture, she has composed surrealist landscapes, eerily suggestive and complexly layered. Notable for the architectonics of massing and subtle play of colour, her most powerful work has been in media such as oil pastel, egg tempera and pen and ink, which carry the energy of the artist’s gesture working and reworking the pictorial surface, building up brilliantly coloured layers, then sharply, intricately incising them with microscopic lines. Resonating on both aesthetic and psychological levels, her imagery constitutes a symbolic idiom through which to explore the nature and function of art. Seeing the world through the eye, she remarked, has taken her on a “journey from the material to the immaterial” (“Artist’s”).
