Victoria is a Brighton-based artist who creates instinctive anti-concept paintings and drawings. Working with a range of surfaces, she accrues layers and stories of acrylic, collage, sand and salt to produce a tactile record of process.

Victoria’s work is developed with its viewing destination in mind, or rather, in body.

She conceives of her work as having a human-sized presence and gestural charge, enlivening a space with conscious shape, colour and energy. 

She is influenced by Jim Ede’s mid-20th-century curation at Kettle’s Yard in Cambridge, especially his ideas about appreciating the simple space and light of a room and then placing art within this situation.

There is a collaborative power to these works, whereby a viewer is invited to experience the production of the work vicariously.

The evident drips, brush-marks and splashes suspend the work in a timeless moment of creation into which a viewer can enter.
