Chantal Ashwell

My colour-rich pieces are a fusion of imagination and feeling with a compulsion to express perception. Fascination in essential elements of the natural world leads to subjects being intuitively worked and reworked; energy pulses of rhythm, cycle, repetition and form are vital to interpretation of a subject playing out in unexpected ways on the canvas. Textural finishes and illusions are characteristic; some designs have an almost textile-like quality. I am a UNESCO Global Geopark artist.
