Artist Statement

This rendering of a stormy pyrocumulous cloud in a black sky hopes to capture the drama, beauty, awe and romantic reverence of nature. The provocation is of a world gone wrong. Preoccupied with the crisis of climate change, my work sees the image of the cloud act as a reoccurring reference to climate change debates as well as a symbol for an uncertainty and unease that is both global and personal.

About the Artist

Robyn Penn

I am a South-African born, Kiwi artist based in Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand. Through a practice that straddles painting, print-making and drawing, I explore the relationship between nature and human-kind; experience and knowledge. I am a traditionally trained artist; drawing and painting are a way for me to watch and record time passing, to see into the heart of things.
