Reminiscent of Impressionist paintings, Ena Swansea’s Agent invokes a timeless sentiment. Working against a blackened ground, Swansea uses paint in the negative process of pastel drawing. Painting from memory rather than photographs, Swansea conjures her image from a subliminal void. Instead of solidifying form, her colours replicate light itself: shimmering highlights and reflections of surfaces refract from objects not physically rendered. Through this romanticised suggestion, Swansea’s figure lingers with ghost-like presence, her Arcadian charm elucidating from what isn’t there.
