More about Pamela Cooper
Pamela Cooper paints from Kommetjie, on the Cape peninsula, and the places arrive under their own names: Witsand is a real stretch of Cape coast rather than an invented title.
Her method is consistent across all of them. She keeps the tonal range narrow, works the sky in dry broken layers so the weave of the canvas keeps showing through, then lays the foreground on almost flat. That is why these stay quiet even when the sky is doing something dramatic.

Every work at Rama Gallery is a one-of-a-kind original, so once a piece sells it is gone. If something here is marked sold, the artist may take a commission for similar work. Get in touch.
