Animated By The Same Spirit

 

This exhibition at the Piers Feetham Gallery in March 2020 was a collaboration with my sister, the sculptor, Jocelyn Magnus. The title is a quote from Vasari’s ‘The Lives of the Artists’ on Pisano and refers to the twin disciplines of painting and sculpture. The result, for us, has been a happy combination of the two forms, beautifully curated by Piers.

“Auriol is a painter who uses strong vibrant colour to evoke particular places through landscape and interiors … her paintings capture the changing light at various times of the day and the way that memory is triggered by the passing of time … There is certainty. There is also a deep seriousness of purpose, and joy too.”
