Moss (Rosamund) Fuller was born in Suffolk in 1937. She studied at St Martin’s School of art and later at the Royal College of Art where she was taught among others by Julian Trevelyan. She lives and works in Suffolk and is member of the Suffolk Group, the Gainsborough House Print Workshop, and associate member of Craftco, Southwold. Her Works are widely exhibited and collected. She is a painter, photographer and printmaker.
Fuller is particularly interested agricultural landscapes. Her artwork shows landscapes full of lines, shapes and patterns.
This small linocut is a good example of that. It was printed in 1978 in a small edition of only 28. It is titled ‘Kitchen’s Barn’ and combines a large number of colours and patterns to very effectively portray a farmyard scene. This is a stunning and very good example of her work. While in some of her earliest work you can still see the influence of Trevelyan, here she has clearly developed her own style that is still recognisable in more recent work.
What I love especially about this work is how she has used different ways to abstract the landscape to create different patterns. The rusty brown of the barn’s roof contrasts really well with the various browns and greens of the fields and the bushes surrounding it. The bright green bush right in front of the barn in particular has a great visual impact.
