A smog-filled sky, a drought-ridden landscape, deforestation and a neon sun have all emerged as popular subjects in the work of contemporary artist Diana Homer when responding to the relationship between mankind and his environment.
Whilst many of her works are based on her personal experiences whilst on her travels (wherever in the world Homer roams you will find her taking photographs and sketching) others are a direct response to an image seen in a magazine, newspaper, television news report or documentary.
For Homer, who lives in Oxfordshire, this fragile relationship is her inspiration. It feeds her creativity and enables her to continually create works that prompt viewers to question their relationships to the world in which we live. “Both nature and man, shape land and seascapes.” says Homer ”The result can be beautiful, frightening or a combination of both.”
Her two most recent paintings ‘Outer Hebrides’ and ‘Tsunami 11.3.11’ are testimony to her passion for her subject. She says “ I look forward to expanding the dialogue with new audiences on the future of our planet.”
Homer is a member of the artist collective Alchemie who will be exhibiting at the Cornerstone Arts Centre, Didcot, Oxfordshire from 20th October to 27th of November.
