An exuberance of blessing and bounty reveals itself in the work of Beatrice Hasell-McCosh. The viewer is thrown into her cornucopia of sumptuous brushwork, with each luscious lick serving to capture the energy, frivolity and complexity of the natural world. She depicts a precious botanical wilderness, replete with exotic plants and flowers that reveal themselves in silhouette and extend to their viewer a haptic zing transmitted by the artist’s dynamic modelling and the fluidity and tempo of her lively mark making.

She pits the definition of botanical accuracy against the suggestion of her painterliness. It is a confrontation between observation, recollection and inspiration, blooming with a supple radiance that harmonizes her composition. Each tone pouring in and out of itself, creating depth yet delicate friction.
