It doesn’t have to be literally geographical of course, though in the case of Liam Hanley’s dense, poetic abstractions ( Crane Kalman ) it has, in fact, been six huge fields in the undulating chalk downlands south of Royston in Hertfordshire, the discovery of which, early in his painting career was, as he once observed, “a very big event for me . . . and has determined, almost directed, the abstract path I should take.” That was more than 50 years ago now and, in the time since, Hanley’s painting has ranged widely to take in the gleaming lights of the East Anglian coast he first visited as a young boy and the specifics of weather and natural history learnt in his boyhood on the Welsh Borders. The land and what man has done to it is what those fields taught him though, and out of this memory he constructs these distilled, lyrical visions full of an alert tenderness that also comes to talk, modestly but resonantly, about the ‘weather’ of his own soul.
