Thoughts from the artist: this rendering of a stormy pyrocumulous cloud in a black sky hopes to capture the drama, beauty, awe and romantic reverence of nature. The provocation is of a world gone wrong. Preoccupied with the crisis of climate change, my work sees the image of the cloud act as a reoccurring reference to climate change debates as well as a symbol for an uncertainty and unease that is both global and personal. 

Robyn Penn is a South African born award winning artist based in Auckland. Through a practice that straddles painting, print-making and drawing, Penn explore the relationship between nature and human-kind; experience and knowledge. She is a traditionally trained artist, and the acts of drawing and painting are a way for her to watch and record time passing, to see into the heart of things.
