About the artist
​
Lois Wallace’s practice explores the Northern Romantic tradition of painting, where landscape can be seen as a metaphor for the human condition. Copper has been used as a painting support since the Renaissance and her paintings are made using transparent layers of oil paint on copper. The warmth of the copper ground glows through the painting to create light, atmosphere and a sense of illumination from within.
​
