Nancy Milner (b.1986 Barnsley, England) previously studied at The University of Reading.
Milner’s practice is to construct paintings that fix colour and space in various, tense economies.
Her paintings contain space that is present and weighty as well as space that is more ephemeral, conveyed by the relationships of colour, line and touch. Compositions are arrived at through drawings, whilst colour is worked out through a slow process of building and layering.
The finished works are an accumulation of the time taken to make them, a manifestation of thinking, memory and experience that have been made sense of in the space of painting.
