Cell Gallery : RETROFIT works by Mirren Hinchley

Artists often revisit previous works they have done.  Time away can give you a different perspective on the painting.  New colours could be introduced or bolder or smaller marks added.  The possibilities are endless but whatever you do you are building on what is there – ‘retrofitting the painting’.  My painting process has evolved over time.  I am always looking for new ways to challenge my artistic self.  In life we are always creating new experiences, building on what we have learned from the past. I have reworked (retrofitted) each painting to give them a new look and to bring them together as series called RETROFIT. The works and titles are inspired by the incredible images from the James Webb Space Telescope. The series challenged me to let go, build on my past experiences and explore new techniques and possibilities in my painting practice.  Another chapter in my ever-evolving life!
