Angie Hunt

Angie’s oil paintings explore conflicting feelings of escapism and containment.

Her abstracted still lives depict sociable gatherings of domestic vessels – bottles, goblets, bowls – with a bold and playful use of colour, pattern and repetition.  The individual objects are often lined up in rows, perhaps seeking some sense and order at a turbulent time.

By contrast, Angie’s series of small, isolated houses are a search for space and calm.  The solitary, humble dwellings in their wide, coastal  landscapes are inspired by her lifelong travels along the western shorelines of the British Isles.

Born and brought up by the sea in NorthWest England, the coastline has always been the touchstone of Angie’s life and art.  Now based in the landlocked Cotswolds, she is frequently away on coastal walking and sailing adventures gathering sketches, photos and memories that later merge into compositions back in her studio.  She paints on wood and is interested in materials, with collaged papers, found objects and beachcombings often featuring in her work.
