Agnes Pollock is primarily a still-life artist and a painter of light. She paints from observation and she loves to capture the subtle way in which a simple object holds and reflects light. She focuses on the delicate interplay of light, shadows and reflections and learned techniques used by the Dutch masters to enhance luminosity and depth of colour. She also admires the simple, understated and quiet beauty found in Japanese ceramics and art. Her compositions are bold, but her colours tend to be subtle, soft and muted. The results are contemporary, contemplative and quiet
