Collection: Kerry Louise Bennett

My paintings are an evolving expression of the things that move me: certain juxtapositions of colour, the beauty and history of a wonky old chair; the visceral musical storytelling of the likes of Kate Bush and David Byrne; fairy-tales as rewritten by Angela Carter; the luscious energetic shapes thrown by plants and the mysterious shadow world they project against the wall.

My sense of myself as an artist, and the way I experience the world is built on remembered moments that have equal measures of the mundane and the magical, the ‘here’ and the ‘there’, and that pregnant feeling of promise you sometimes get for no good reason at all.
