Annabel Playfair

built around long, cool shadows cast across fresh snow, creating a rhythmic interplay between light and form. Playfair’s instinctive handling of colour—cool blues, violet shadows, and warm reflected tones—gives the scene both immediacy and emotional warmth.

This painting sits firmly within Playfair’s alpine practice, a strand of her work that has become increasingly recognised within Contemporary British Art. It is a painting that feels both observational and interpretive, capturing not just a place but a moment of shifting winter light.

Playfair’s alpine paintings have strong appeal among collectors for their clarity, freshness and emotional resonance. Shadows in Verbier offers a mid‑scale example of this sought‑after theme, balancing accessibility with the depth and craftsmanship characteristic of her larger canvases.

This work is represented exclusively by Red Rag Gallery, Bath, the principal gallery for British Art and Contemporary Art.
