Fiona Ewan-Rowett
With over 25 solo exhibitions and numerous group shows, mainly in Gauteng and the Eastern Cape, Fiona Ewan Rowett has finally found her way to the Western Cape where she is exhibiting at De Kraal Gallery.
Having used natural form as a starting point Fiona is presently drawn to the fundamental, more challenging abstract composition.
Working intuitively, she searches for that elusive combination of subconscious mark making and the pulling and pushing of elements to find the sense of closure given by a finished painting.
Her passion is not to describe the world as she sees it but to delve into the invisible world of sensation, dreams - that space between.
In this exhibition Fiona is exploring the beginnings and endings - the Edges, that elusive space which conjures up questions of our very existence.

Like a wisp of smoke - seen and not seen - here now and gone in an instant. The challenge was to capture those fleeting moments and create a visible beauty.
