Harriet Hoult

The Old Forte

2020

Harriet Hoult is a London based abstract artist, working with acrylic and mixed media on paper. Her process is intuitive and her paintings are created instinctively, evolving on the paper mark by mark. Her pieces can be seen as meditations on our relationship with life, drawing influence from both the inner and outer landscape. She explores themes such as home, boundaries, both physical and psychological, a sense of belonging, freedom and beauty. Her work aims to take us beyond the intellectual process to an underlying visceral experience. There is a sculptural element to her painting, which creates a rich sensory experience, along with a bold expression of texture, composition and color. Harriet has spent time living and working in Cornwall, which has had a strong influence on her work. She was mentored by renowned ceramicist and artist Sandy Brown. Her work has been shown in galleries, art fairs and private collections throughout the UK, Europe, the Middle East and the United States.
