Sally Burch

At the start of Sally Burch’s life as a painter she fought against her graphic roots, but now fully embraces those skills and influences to stir the “paint pot” with ever evolving ideas from her fine art education. Her art practice is influenced by natural landscapes and phenomena that she personally experiences via both physical and virtual media. Working with sketches and digital media, she builds up a catalogue of simplified references, motifs and colours that she converts into her own pictorial language of pattern, form and pigment.

Emphasisng a particular element of an abstract piece can draw focus, encouraging the eye to a particular point in the piece.

This can add clarity, direction, and intention to an abstract piece. What is the artist emphasising, and why, are engaging questions to ask with many abstract works.

Emphasis

Chris Wood

For Chris Wood, her canvas is glass and her medium is light. She uses one to manipulate the other, with subtle interventions carefully placed in the optical plane. She harnesses patterns of light, which recall ephemeral glimpsed moments in the natural world. As glass is used more and more predominately as a sheeted shield, it is perceived as a material that excludes the majority of people from huge corporate buildings or as a functional piece of tableware that we unthinkingly use everyday.

Just like how individual musical notes come together to make chords, colours can combine for the same affect. Complementary, contrasting, analogous colours can be used to create this sense of visual harmony. Careful placement of chords and tones can make a symphony. With colours: a masterpiece.

Harmony

Sarah Emily Porter

Sarah Emily Porter is a visual artist who explores colour and the historical context of painting. By gaining an in-depth understanding of the chemical properties of paint, she has been able to challenge the rules of painting to create work that is a collaboration between her own desires and the unpredictable tendencies of her materials. With modernist ideas at the forefront of her work, she has created her own innovative painting tools which pour and manipulate paint on tilting wooden structures.

In Abstract Art, each element has a visual weight. Balance refers to how these elements relate to each other. Keeping symmetry might make a piece feel more grounded. Shifting the balance of the piece to the sides, top, or base of the piece can add drama, dynamism, and contrast.

Balance

Diane Griffin

The customs of leaving letters and objects at historic and spiritually important sites such as the Wailing Wall in Jerusalem and Casa de Guilietta in Verona have been the inspiration to Diane’s work. These collective acts of engagement, born of an anthropic desire to connect with the divine or universal energies are used as starting point concepts which then develop through the making process.

Shapes, lines, objects, all come together in a specific curation to display motion present in each piece. It may be very still, it may be a swirl, it may be a visual journey from one side of the piece to the other. Consider the journey the artist is taking you on. Will you follow their path, or forge your own?

Movement

Emily Jones

Emily V Jones’s vivid artworks explore geometry and colour, manipulating the viewers interpretation of shape with her unique folding technique, deployed across a range of mediums to create one off, 3D contemporary. Jones demonstrated her creative flair from an early age - initially studying art and photography at school where she found herself continually drawn to paper as a medium, captivated by the versatility it offered to sculptural structures.

Many abstract artists use music as part of their inspiration.

Just like in music, many abstract artworks feature Rhythm. Is the piece fast, slow, consistent, synchopated, jazzy? Rhythm can help us learn how the artist wants us to feel when looking at the piece. Is it calming, exciting, frantic, reserved? Patterns and repetition can help convey this sense of rhythm.

Rhythm

Jack Allum

Every Jack Allum piece is thrown on the wheel, with a focus on producing clean, precise forms. Each angle, curve and proportion is considered. Jack seeks to draw the viewer towards each piece by creating a contrast between the quiet, unforgiving porcelain and the spontaneous, instinctive decoration and mark making. This is often achieved through the windows of colour that wrap themselves around each piece.

Experiments with texture can add additional dynamics to any artwork. From harsh, abrasive surfaces to smooth, sleek forms, these aspects of an artwork can help cultivate a more tactile experience. Difference textures evoke different feelings - what feeling is the artist displaying with the textures chosen?

Texture

Martha Winter

Martha’s artistic practice has been profoundly influenced by exposure to two vastly different environments. A youth spent in London, surrounded by minimal art and modern architecture gave her the visual language of reduced and economical form, and a fascination with systems, repetition and order. This was coupled with the regular witnessing of the raw power of the East Anglian coastline.

In this, Martha became aware of natural laws and gained an interest in the organised chaos of physical matter. Living near Cambridge, a city at the epicentre of scientific research, Martha became aware how scientific research influences our understanding of the natural world.

The context in which the piece was made can offer fascinating backstory to the piece. How was this made? Abstract artists often use unconventional means to produce their work. A new way of putting paint on the canvas. A new way of making that 3d shape. These innovations and their results can be truly inspiring.
