Studio F- Adele Webster - Painting

As a Resident Artist at the Tett Centre, Adele paints in a contemporary abstracted style focusing on gesture and colour. Her work is inspired by nature's landscapes, using a minimlist style she brings balance in an attempt to decipher the everyday chaos towards calm. She intends to create a mood or evoke a dream-like memory that one can escape into while enjoying the playfulness of the abstracted peaceful vista. 

Adele's work builds many layers of acrylic washes over birch panels allowing the wood grain to show through. Then finishing with a high gloss resin that adds richness, depth, and makes the colours pop. https://adelewebster.com/

How the sunset wraps around the trunk of a tree or lights up the windows of a building can transform shapes into magic. Light and shadow symbolize the balance of society and solitude.
