Beth Partridge sees her painting technique as a organic and intuitive process.
Beth is also a classically trained dancer
The artist works with highly pigmented inks on water colour paper, drawing first with water, then floating the inks within it
Beth Partridge is an artist whose expansive landscapes and cellular worlds are created in vibrant pools of colour mixed with echoes of structural, archetypal forms. Micro worlds within worlds of upside-down houses, tiny trees, layerings of dots are a reoccurring theme.
Working mainly in inks, with hints of acrylic and glaze mediums, spontaneity and presence are deeply integral to her creative process.
“The crisp smooth paper is for me a stillness bathed in white – a silent pause, like that between inhalation and exhalation. Then I pour the water and the dance begins. Inks merge. I gently nudge and persuade. I can never say what will appear”
