Episode 39 of The Artists Contemporary Podcast is now Live! This weeks guest is London based painter @grace__mattingly.

Grace has recently graduated from an MFA at @sladeschool, before she was studying liberal arts at Columbia. Grace’s work is an investigation into colour, material and being through her bold mark making and deep research into colour theory.

Grace work is currently focusing on the colour palette of orange, red, yellow and pink. With these colours she works between paper and watercolour to larger oil paintings. Grace talks about her research into mediums snd surfaces to get oil paint to work in the same fluidity as watercolour on a larger scale.

Grace meditates every day before going to the studio, from here she quickly sketches down what she has seen. The second sketches are loose and almost note . When in the studio Grace will work from these drawings to create her pieces.

Grace is currently exhibited in The Artists Contemporary’s online exhibition - To the Power of 5. To view the exhibition please visit our website. Thank you so much for listening and please remember to like and share the podcast.
