DAFILA SCOTT CHANGING SEASONS
A great test of a painting is, does it call you across a room and if it does are you invited to explore it in depth? There is no doubt that Dafila’s work will arrest your attention from a distance. Extraordinary rich colours and excellent compositional divisions are a compelling strength of her work. They will then demand that you come closer to read each work with care. Dafila appears to compose with a rare distinctive assurance but this disguises, I am sure, her searching need for tonal and careful colour balances which are a hallmark of her work. Carefully judged units of scale, in colour and shape, lend tremendous strength to all her paintings. A somewhat idiosyncratic use of line in most works adds vitality and linear interest to the composition. This enrichment of drawing adds
greatly to the paintings, holding the colour forms at the stress points of the composition. It is also a delight to have linear movements woven into the colour changes. The natural fluency in all Dafila’s works speak of a most serious artist who is always intent on finding the way to solve a new compositional puzzle. This involves locking a series of fascinating shapes together which then need to be excited by colour. This brings out her gift for discovering unusual groups of colour and her sensitivity in knowing how to exploit their relationships.
