Tess Recordon (b.1967)

Tess Recordon is a British painter whose practice explores the space between landscape and abstraction using the theme of travel and memory. She graduated from the Byam Shaw School of Art in Fine Art in 1991 and has been exhibited across the UK. They are not traditional landscapes showing a particular view or scene - but aim instead to capture the atmosphere, smell and essence of a place experienced over time. The landscape - rural or urban - a living, changing environment.

“I leave my home environment to experience different perceptions of the world. New places - unusual sights, smells, sounds and tastes heighten the senses and focus the mind. Seemingly small or insignificant moments remain clear months on. Travel forms some of my most vivid memories and my work is an exploration of the recollections from these journeys.”
