We are pleased to present a selection of four pieces from four distinctive artists—Emma Philips, Orlanda Broom, Felicity Talman, and Helen Latham—each exploring themes of control, surrender, and our intricate relationship with nature. This curated collection highlights how these individual works resonate with one another while reflecting the unique perspectives of their creators. Together, they form a cohesive narrative that invites reflection on the complexities of nature, while celebrating each artist's distinct style.
Emma Philips’ Night Swimmer invites contemplation with its depiction of a figure at the water's edge. The intricate patterns in the swimmer's hair resonate with the ripples of the water, creating a visual dialogue that suggests a deep relationship with the environment. This connection hints at trust—the swimmer's reliance on the water to support her as she navigates her vulnerability. The harmony between the figure and her surroundings conveys a sense of comfort, emphasizing the intimacy that comes with the act of swimming at night. In this space, the darkness offers both safety and reflection, allowing for an exploration of the deeper connections we share with nature.
Orlanda Broom’s latest piece, presented on aluminum, adds rich vibrancy to the collection. Her dynamic use of color and form enhances the dialogue among the works, creating a lively contrast to Philips' contemplative piece while echoing shared themes of nature’s fluidity.
Felicity Talman’s In the Night Garden explores beauty in decay, using soft pastels on a black ground to depict dried plants. Her focus on transience aligns with the collection's overarching themes, enriching the conversation about life and decay.
Helen Latham’s series featuring children in nature introduces warmth and nostalgia. Her work emphasizes the innocence and exploration of childhood, deepening the narrative about our connection to the environment.
These four pieces can be acquired to form a curated whole, enriching any space with their resonant themes and visual harmony. We invite you to explore each artist's complete collection and consider how these works can complement one another in your home or gallery.
