About Maddie Webb
Maddie likes to work with a variety of materials to create landscapes and imagery inspired by the natural world that strikes a balance between abstraction and representation. The dynamic energy seen in the paintings are often Maddie’s response to observed changes in the landscape; ‘the movement of the sea, the merging of sea with land and air, advancing rain or mist, ever changing light – all elements that seem to be about something intangible.’ Maddie’s paintings are a synthesis of spaces, emotions, sensations experienced and imagined. Mood, colour, and atmosphere fascinate her. Her paintings hinge on just-aboutness; liminal and perceptible shapes: just-about states of mind that swing between figurative, non-figurative, almost suggested elements that are altered by each other. Maddie’s artistic style is suggestive of the intensity of abstract expressionism, gestural mark making is used instinctively, her work becomes its own story and has its own energy. Layers of transparent glaze are built to create a depth of field that replicates the luminosity of peripheral layers of consciousness. Fluctuating areas of colour and bodies of paint are expanded and foregrounded, displaying a freedom of movement. Ambiguity invites the viewer to speculate, to create meaning playfully, offering a counterpoint to disappearing, and of simultaneously becoming hyper-visible.Other works from this artist
