JACQUI PAINTER ART
ARTIST STATEMENT
'I rarely have a plan of what I’m about to paint. I begin and intuitively let the painting emerge in its own way.
My paintings are usually colourful, organic, and elemental. I have a lot of energy and enjoy the physicality and vigour of making marks and exploring expressions of energy and vibrancy.
​
Some of my paintings are fluid, expressive and natural, whilst others have a distinctive weathered appearance and a more urban, coastal feel. I have always been drawn to worn and distressed surfaces. I love the ugly beauty of urban coastal spaces and seaside towns.
​
Ultimately, painting is predominantly about cultivating the connection I have with myself and expressions of my subconscious and internal landscape.'
