Public Commission

Two 19feet high oil painted panels in the Sanctuary of St Mary’s Church, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, Professor George T. Noszlopy writes of this work -

“...these are works in which the marvellous and the extraordinary insinuate themselves almost imperceptibly in the details. the dramatic visual experience of the pervasive luminosity (so far noted by all the reviewers of this work) has a universal and transcendental message...”

Professor George T. Noszlopy, ‘Mo Enright’s double panel paintings of the Easter Story’, Art and Christianity Enquiry (ACE), No.34, April 2003, pp8-9.

“...the  two enormous panels at the end of the aisle, in the choir, bring to the church an extraordinary focus. They posses in the first instance a wonderful sense of space and light ... it may be defined as that power which creates space. For the light that Enright uses is the golden, warm magic light of the late afternoon which she has learnt to modulate to give a sense of space and to shape it too”.

David Phillips, Artspace (quarterly), Spring 2002, p6.

About the Artist

Mo Enright was born and raised in the beautiful National Park area of the Hambleton Hills in North Yorkshire. After graduating with a BA(Hons) in Fine Art, went on to gain an MA and is now a full-time professional artist working from Art-E Studios in Warwickshire. Mo's work is primarily oil on canvas however, the location and the environment of a particular commission may demand the use of other materials which is always taken into consideration.              

Mo Enright's work is to be found in corporate and private collections worldwide.

The environment and places from childhood currently inform the work. Mo does not work from photographs, but simply goes to particular places, soaks up the spirit of the time and place, sometimes making brief sketches or notes, then returns to the studio and seeks to recapture on canvas the moment or the emotion of the time, place or the event. The 'sense of place' that the artist searches for is brilliantly captured by the use of colour, creating form and space within. These paintings have a captivating magic about them that draws you back again and again.
