Insights

Working in layers of watercolour, gouache, encaustic, pastels, and pencils onto handmade Indian rag paper, her work is a journey directed by the juxtaposition of colour and form. Inspired by the boldness and decorative qualities of Bonnard, Matisse and the Bloomsbury Group, House works on more than one painting at a time creating a lively rhythm throughout.

Artist

Inspired by a visit to an artist’s studio, Amanda became motivated to pursue art further after experimenting with landscape painting. Upon completing her degree, she was offered a couple of solo exhibitions at the Winds of Change Gallery in Winchcombe. Her work has been shown in galleries in Italy, Devon, Cornwall, Bristol, and the Cotswolds.

notes

A cascade of multicoloured tulips command the composition, complemented by a washed blue vase and accompanying saucer. The background of the jubilant flowers features a confetti-like pattern of similar hues. Using contrasting areas of unmodulated colour fused with playfully applied washes, ‘Jitterbug’ transfixes with texture and visual rhythm.
