Tess Armitage
Paintings
Tess’s dynamic and vibrant use of color and texture elevates her work beyond mere representation, whisking spectators into evocative landscapes that ignite sparks of memory and experience! You can almost feel a gentle breeze or catch a whiff of salty air.
Her gestural mark-making dances between spontaneity and intention, as she playfully splatters, scrapes, and smudges with her hands, brushes, and palette knives. This creative exploration reflects her deep, mindful connection to the beauty of time and place.
Tess is captivated by the enchanting intersection of abstraction and realism. While her marks may appear spontaneously abstract, the finished artwork resonates with the very landscapes that inspire her. Having spent much of her life on the edge of Exmoor, she is irresistibly drawn to its wild, untouched beauty.
The thrill of being in nature is both exhilarating and humbling, and Tess continually seeks new techniques to capture the dramatic essence of these stunning locales!
