Rosemary Masson lives and works in her Studios in both London, near the River Thames and in Essex, overlooking the River Stour Estuary. Her work in her three chosen media is semi-figurative and is about an intensity of passionate involvement, imagination and tactility. She paints with oils using her hands, knives or a cloth and never uses brushes as she feels they distance her from the medium. Canvas is too springy to accommodate her technique so she works on either board or panel on which she creates her own surfaces. She draws with charcoal, not pencil - which again, she finds distancing - and sculpts in clay which is then cast in bronze, aluminium or a clear and translucent resin, depending on the sense she wishes to convey in a particular piece. These constraints of choice in technique make for constant challenge and allow for extreme fluidity and strong density of form. Her work has been shown in the Biennale Internazionale Dell'Arte Contemporanea in Florence and the Royal Scottish Academy and is held in Private Collections in the UK, Europe, the USA, and South Africa.
