Kirsty Wither : In Colour
Previous exhibition
Works
Overview
Kirsty Wither paints brightly coloured and textured still lifes, figures and landscapes. Her paintings are as much about the surface quality as the subject matter, applying vibrant layers of oil paint to achieve the desired outcome.
'Whether bold and bright, subtle, or quiet, we are surrounded and influenced by it. In equal measure combinations of colour can delight and disarm, while also inviting feelings of contemplation or discomfort.
My intention is to discover and enhance different colour palettes that have a positive and joyful energy …. In fact, the subject matter is often secondary to the colour. It seems more important that and that the paintings are ultimately uplifting and convey a considered harmony.'
Kirsty Wither was born in 1968 and studied at Gray's School of Art in Aberdeen from 1986 to 1990. 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. She now lives and works in Brighton.
