“Inspired by the movement of cherry blossom”
Rotherhithe artist, Natalie Webb, who paints with both hands at once, is one of the artists selected for The Light We Carry, a winter group exhibition at House of Estila in Clerkenwell, London.
The exhibition, staged by artist-led community interest company Creations Atelier, explores how cultures use light as a symbol of hope, resilience and connection through the darkest months of the year: candles, lanterns, fires and the festivals that carry people through winter.
Natalie is showing her Falling in Love painting, oil on hand stretched canvas. Falling in Love is part of her ongoing series exploring the element of Air, within a longer running series of Elements.
She says it is ‘Inspired by the movement of cherry blossom drifting through spring, the piece captures a moment of spring light and quiet emotion. Layers of colour and glazes move like petals in the wind, fleeting, delicate, alive.’
House of Estila, 66A Turnmill Street, London EC1M 5RR from 16th Nov – 4th Dec.
At the Pink Exhibition, she unveils Caught up in Love, another new oil painting from the ongoing collection of paintings and wearable art, exploring the element of Air, within the long-running Elements series.
Skylight Gallery, 279. Cambridge heath Road, E2 from 24th November – 6th December.
