Gloriana

...31 October - 6 December 2003

Gloriana, Heywood’s second exhibition since returning to Britain from Berlin (where she spent 10 years) has a celebratory affirmation of colour not seen in her work before. Combined with this is a return to the instinctive and emotional response to landscape and nature of her earlier days. The palate has become more vibrant while also becoming more varied. Underlying this new development though is still the rigour and control that continues to make her work strong and vital.

The jewel like nature of these paintings, faceted by the depth of the paint-marks evokes a poetic intensity reflected in the title of the show; a reference to Spenser’s Faerie Queene (set in the mythical court of Gloriana).
