Kirsty Wither: A Positive Light
"Whether bold, bright, subtle or quiet we are surrounded and influenced by colour and light. In equal measure, combinations of colour and light can delight and disarm while also inviting feelings of contemplation.
Using familiar subjects - flower, landscape or figure - my ongoing intention is to distill and mould these combinations to leave a lasting positive and joyful image."
Kirsty Wither (b.1968) is a fine artist who studied in Scotland and from her studio now in Brighton paints brightly coloured and textured still lifes, figures and landscapes.
Kirsty Wither was born in 1968 and studied at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen from 1986 to 1990. Her paintings are as much about the surface quality as the subject matter, as she applies vibrant layers of oil paint to achieve the desired outcome. Since 1989 she has been selected to appear in group exhibitions throughout the UK and from 1995 has had regular solo exhibitions in Glasgow, Edinburgh and London. She was elected Artist Member of the Chelsea Arts Club in 2004 and has many works in private and public collections worldwide.
