Dublin-born artist Bernadette Madden creates colourful screen prints that dramatically depict dynamic natural scenes, often the sea and the horizon line, on relatively small squares of paper.

 

The colourfulness of her silkscreens is reminiscent of abstract expressionist landscape painting and primarily depicts the sea and the horizon. It is almost an ironic metaphor for the inability to capture the vastness of nature on paper. Madden seems to attach great importance to a single bright colour dominating the landscape in each painting. The individual layers of her landscapes merge into one another without any recognisable distinction between earth, sea and sky

  Madden’s landscapes have a strong emotional presence. Through her virtuoso use of colour and composition, she brings scenes to life and invites the viewer to immerse themselves in the quiet beauty of nature and go beyond what she has captured on paper. Madden’s landscapes are not mere depictions of landscapes, but rather emotive interpretations of nature, imbued with a sense of serenity and wonder.In an age where digital art and technology are on the rise, Madden’s dedication to traditional printmaking techniques reminds us that they can capture the complexity of human experience in surprising ways. Madden’s work invites us to pause, reflect and appreciate the beauty of the world around us.
