Bicester-based Janine Kilroe cites as her source of inspiration the British Isles. Over 30 years she has been exploring Britain’s landscapes, our magnificent coastline and the impact that each changing season and the movement of wind and water have on both.

As a photographer she chooses to work with film wherever possible, using as her cameras a 1952 Leica M3 or in digital a Canon EOS 5D MK II.

She captures the movement evident in so much of her work by using long exposures – five minutes plus – and then developing her work by hand.

The majority of Kilroe’s current pieces are photographs which she has enhanced by hand painting on to the surface over the photo. This is a technique through which she is able to enhance each image by an inspired use of judicial colour and delicate brushwork – a technique that adds depth and perspective and highlights specific focal points. In Langdale Valley, Flock of Herdwick, she has used this technique to imbue the impressive tree in the foreground with spring foliage, under which the sheep gratefully shelter, set against a background of snow-covered hills and lowering cloud formations.

Eastbourne Pier is enhanced over painting to draw the eye towards the open sky and sea.

In Rocking Sea Horse, pictured, she drills down into the detail of seaside fun and games. Kilroe hopes this and others images will transport people back to happy childhood memories of family days and holidays. The horse recreates the magic of childhood, where rocking horses become real steeds. This particular steed is enhanced by Kilroe’s creation of a spun gold mane and a silvery sheen on its imagined coat.

The show is open daily until Saturday.
