“Inness Hancock paints not only landscapes in the natural world, but her experiences in them. She seeks that special connection between herself and her subject, between her paintings and their viewers.”

-WAG Magazine

Persephone’s Garden series explores themes of Women’s identities and sacred space held by women. Using the metaphor of the garden before Persephone was abducted by Hades, and historically cared for by women of leisure and/or servitude, and reimagining it as as space for safety, growth, reinvention. Bordering on abstraction and recalling American Impressionism, color worlds are invented and employed with subtlety and nuance.

The Weight of Silence, 2023, oil on canvas, 57 x 77 inches

“It is commonly thought that in Western Art, the interest in representing the landscape as a part of a painting’s composition cropped up during the time of the Renaissance. From the beginning, representations of the landscape have brought the viewer to virtually experience new places throughout time, offering a sense of discovery, a feeling of hopeful a better more peaceful world. More recently, a truer understanding of the force and fragility of nature has come to fore motivated by politics, profit, and pleasure.

Into the Falls, 2016, by Inness Hancock takes us to a place where representation and abstraction coalesce. Movement is key here, as thin veils of blue rain down upon the depths of a deep darkening pond. The contrast between the thin washes at the top and middle of the canvas, and the weight of the deep blue pool below anchors the composition and our thoughts as both time and thought wonder.”
