Suki Wapshott - Featured Artist

Suki Wapshott Featured Artist | 1st to 29th June 2021

Suki Wapshott is an artist who brings rare emotional depth to her painting, with a passion for landscape and literature that makes her work perfect for collectors of Contemporary Romanticism.

Suki Wapshott is so much more than a painter: she graduated from Oxford University with a degree in English Literature, before moving to Cornwall’s dramatic North Coast and using the inspiration she gained from her studies to become a painter of poetic land and seascapes. She lives and works in an ocean view house above the spectacular beach at Polzeath, where Hayle Bay and the surrounding coastline are her creative focus. Her life and work reflect those of the great Romantics, people who have experienced the joy and heartbreak of real life, and then poured that energy into meaningful creative expression that bears witness to the sublime beauty of nature, and of human spirituality.

Suki describes this new collection of paintings as ‘reflective’, created through the extraordinary quietude of lockdown, and inspired by ‘scapes’ throughout the seasons. With a particular focus on the ocean, the spectacular Padstow estuary, and other inspirational landscapes that have caught her attention over the last year, these paintings are defined by emphatic horizon lines, ever changing skies and a palette of dramatic, powerfully uplifting colours that elevate each scene beyond the literal to a place of deeply held emotion.
