Collection: Aisha Bridgman : Painter : Surrey

Aisha grew up in Portsmouth by the sea.  During her Fine Art degree, she visited New York to see the work of the Abstract Expressionists.  Her early influences include the American painters Clyfford Still and Morris Louis.

Colour interactions and composition are central to Aisha’s practice as a painter.  In what continues to be a changeable climate on many fronts, the imagery, often inspired by nature, is abstracted, imagined, escapist even.  Acrylic paint is combined with mixed media such as ink or thread.  Bands of colour soar upwards, lines of ink flow with energy.  The intention is to create areas of intrigue, to be explored by the viewer, inviting their own interpretation of the work.

Aisha paints full time from her home studio in Surrey.  Her expression of colour continues to connect people to her work and her paintings have been secured in private collections within the UK, The Netherlands, Germany, Portugal and Japan.
