BIOGRAPHY
JENNY WESTBROOK B.A.(Hons) P.G.CERT
Gloucestershire, England, United Kingdom
Jenny Westbrook is an abstract mixed media artist living and working in Cheltenham UK. She has shown work locally and nationally in group and solo shows, has had work in The new English Art Club and The Pastel Society Annual exhibitions at the Mall Galleries, London, also Platform 100 for The Discerning Eye. She has also taken part in a number of national Stuckist shows., She is a member of The Cheltenham Group of Artists and The Stroud Artists Cooperative.
STATEMENT
My work is intuitive, growing from the initial marks and shapes. the work grows from layering and editing, putting one shape / mark / colour / symbol next to another, changing relationships and direction. Music feeds into it as does what's happening around me, my thoughts and memories, I'm aiming for good, strong composition, great colours and balance and sometimes humour and playfulness, why not? .
I know that abstract art can sometimes be mysterious and puzzling and if the viewer can interpret the work in their own way that's great.
I think of making art as another language, I like this quote from Edward Hopper:
'If you could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint'.
