The botanical and landscapes provide the opportunity for abstraction in the work of these three emerging artists.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Introducing new artist\u00a0Imi\u00a0Williams<\/a>, 2021\u00a0graduate of Camberwell College of Arts:\u00a0

In a choreography of contrasts, colours will pull against the magnetic black or blue swathes into new intensity. Lush deeper tones alongside vivid bright ones. These works by Imogen Williams are aerial and gymnastic, plush and undulating. They bring to mind the soft fluidity of Georgia O\u2019Keeffe\u2019s organic abstractions. There\u2019s a sense of being compelled, mesmerised: the fascination that brings you in closer to look at a work of nature or art.<\/em>
\u00a0<\/td>		 <\/td> <\/td><\/td><\/tr>
In\u00a0Olivia Mansfield\u2019<\/a>s paintings (see our profile on this investable artist<\/a>) the feeling of looking simultaneously at the recesses of the future and the distant past gives the work its mythic undertow. The blissful use of paint meets the sensuality of a landscape.\u00a0

Fangying Lu<\/a>\u2019s paintings are a tactile arena of subtle spatial impressions. \u201cI favour the fluid, stained pigments\u201d she writes. Zones of drift and autonomy, an amorphous place without an agenda \u2013 otherwise than to unfurl, be. These oil paintings (sometimes on linen) draw on botanical and surrealist imagery, giving the watery milieu of a garden fountain or meadow stream \u2013 or a memory that encases the viewer. Like the brilliant Leonora Carrington, for whom spaces for magical transformation were sacred, Fangying\u2019s works are alchemical.\u00a0
