2022 graduate Felicity Nutt makes elegant, show-stopping paintings in a range of scales. Colour, brushwork and shape are all arrainged: the painter’s construction site. Compositionally, there will often be a focal point toward and from which the energy of the painting rushes. The brushwork emanates from the heart of colour; Felicity's intuitive process as a painter takes centre-stage. The dynamism is sometimes more crystallised (see the more collaged ‘Walking Sparks’), sometimes more in transition (see ‘Murmuration’).
They recall early paintings by perhaps the most famous living abstract painter, Gerhard Richter, with their intense knowledge of colour. The rhythm of the large and simple elements of Felicity’s paintings is so important: it’s the motion of the chosen colours articulating themselves from each other. The vocabulary of her paintings is a reverie: it's the description – verbal to match visual – that reaches out from itself, opalescent, mellifluous, tussling into awareness.
