Some artists enter the Master’s section over time. Others arrive with such clarity of presence and skill that the decision makes itself. Ruth Bateman is the latter.
Her paintings carry a rare embodiment. Mark-making that resonates below language, work you can feel. Colour, texture, and rhythm that seem to move through the body before the mind. Immersion, for example, does exactly what its title suggests. You can almost feel the texture of the air: the scintillation of stars, the scent of crushed grass, the chirring of insects, the atmosphere saturated with heat.
It is landscape, yes; but landscape as sensorial field. These paintings are intensely immersive, so full of presence they hold you. If you are looking for paintings that give you a world, a feeling, a place to stand, here they are. Joy. Adventure. Bliss. Colour as terrain. Emotion held in form.
Ruth’s work has been widely exhibited. Most recently, she was shortlisted for the 2024 Contemporary British Painting Prize and Sky Arts Landscape Artist of the Year. These accolades underscore her ability to create art that resonates deeply.
