Prue Pye seeks to capture the layers and non topical colour that exists within us all in a search for an essential humanness, and therefore faces are not recorded, but hinted at; a sense of universality and truth. “The physicality of placing colour on a surface, in ways that express or communicate is a vital part of why I paint and has developed from a need to find a language that connects beyond the immediate”.
