Mary West
London, United Kingdom
Mary West, a London-based artist, is a graduate of The Slade School of Fine Art.
Her large-scale oil paintings explore remembered landscapes and the intimacy of shared moments. Her canvases are at once turbulent and calm, the paint taking on a life of its own through gestural mark-making.
"The initial intuitive marks I make and the drips of the paint provide a framework from which the painting can emerge. The paint itself becomes the subject matter. Memory, snippets of conversation and shared experiences filter into the paintings."
Her work is held in collections in the USA, Europe, Asia and Australia.
