Anne Madden provides the viewer with both a way into her paintings as well as an 'ethical' space which allows the viewer room to breath and engage with the work.
Aidan Dunne describes her 'dark' and 'light' spaces in conjunction with her use of narrative, motifs, image iconography and texture, evident in her various series of works, including the Burren paintings, the Elegy, Megalith and Menhir series, the Garden of Love series and the Pompeiian work.
Madden explains how images develop in her mind and often how difficult it can be to paint them. This then paves the way for a voyage of discovery as she begins to realise her imagination in a painting.
She speaks of her art training and the inspriations behind the various series. She talks of her move to France, the contrasting landscapes, why she occasionally prefers to draw, the appeal of working at a large scale, and why certain motifs regularly appear in her work.
