British artist Emma Turpin's paintings balance a simplicity with an intense sense of colour. Imagined and remembered landscapes from her past and her present.
In recent years, she has been exploring the notion of shelter in landscape. There are structures hidden in forests, and there are others that have almost become part of the landscape with trees bursting from inside them. In other works we see houses huddled together, sheltered in an abstract land of sky and sea. Emma uses these familiar natural motifs to find a harmonious resolution between colour and form. Emma Turpin lives in London but grew up on the South Coast and the influence of this landscape is still present in her work Emma studied at West Surrey College of Art, followed by the Slade School of Art, where she received her Masters, The Slade Higher Diploma in Fine Art Printmaking in 1987. |
