HENRIETTA STUART
My paintings have developed over the years from abstracts based on still life to compositions woven from images taken from the natural world. My inspiration as always is from places and images that I have seen. The compositions are worked up from extensive drawing, of the landscape. The finished pieces range from almost totally abstract compositions evoking a sense of place to more easily recognisable landscape images: the natural world modulated by time and season, disclosed by visual texture and colour.
Colour and light and drawing are very important to me. Colour is used to evoke emotion, and gives a sense of time and place; light is used to create space and to mask and hide objects, creating a sense of mystery. Drawing is giving me a greater idea of place and gives a greater structure to my paintings.
Graduated Newcastle University 1988, BA Fine Art (1st class)
