About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. Fin Beach by Annabelle Shelton is a dynamic exploration of a bustling beach scene through the lens of abstract impressionism, capturing both the chaos and tranquility of summer days by the shore.
Rendered in watercolour on aluminium, with a sprayed lacquer finish, this painting depicts a crowded beach where a sea of figures and umbrellas appear almost weightless, scattered across the composition. The scene is full of vibrant colour, from the bright blues, reds, and yellows of the umbrellas to the soft tones of sunbathers. The white space surrounding the figures enhances the airy, dreamlike quality of the piece, creating a contrast that elevates the everyday scene into something more ethereal.
Shelton’s careful yet playful brushwork captures the essence of a summer beach experience, where time seems to stand still amidst the crowd. The aluminium surface gives the piece a sleek, contemporary edge, while the watercolour adds a softness that feels light and breezy, much like a warm coastal wind.
For collectors and enthusiasts alike, Fin Beach is available for acquisition at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online, offering a captivating celebration of summer’s vibrant energy captured in watercolour on aluminium.
Artist biography:
Annabelle Shelton (b. London) is a British artist who holds an MA in Fine Art from Birmingham City University (2001). She is currently based in Milton Keynes, working out of a historic Victorian school building known as ‘Workspace’. Shelton’s paintings, crafted on aluminium using watercolour and graphite, explore the interaction of people in urban and beach environments. The spaces themselves are often negated, leaving stark white backgrounds that reveal intricate patterns of human movement.
In 2010, Shelton was a resident artist at the Aberystwyth Arts Centre in Wales, where she participated in the main gallery exhibition, Five. That same year, she was selected for the prestigious John Moores Painting Prize. In 2011, she held a solo exhibition at Chapter in Cardiff. Shelton has contributed critical reviews for the a-n Artists Information Company and has exhibited her work with galleries such as Jill George Gallery, Rebecca Hossack Gallery, Rarity Gallery (Greece), and Caudwell Snyder (San Francisco).
In 2013, she was awarded 2nd prize in the Neo for her piece Black Holes at Weymouth. Her work was also featured in the Sunday Times Watercolour Exhibition and the Discerning Eye at the Mall Galleries, London, in 2015. Shelton’s paintings have been showcased at numerous national and international art fairs, and are held in both private and public collections worldwide.
Explore the captivating figurative beach scenes by Annabelle Shelton, thoughtfully curated at Signet Contemporary Art. Available for purchase both in our London gallery and online, these exceptional works showcase Shelton's extraordinary talent and unique artistic vision. Each piece is a testament to her ability to capture the flow of human movement in urban and beach settings, creating a visual experience that is both enchanting and profound.
“Inspired by the Japanese concept of "MA" (negative space), I explore the void between things, focusing on how people occupy space. My work delves into psychogeography, examining urban environments and their impact on human behavior. By removing infrastructure, nature, and landscapes from my paintings, I leave only figures, lines, and clusters of people in familiar places like cities and beaches.
The empty white space reveals where crowds gather and how they interact, their clothing and objects hinting at the unseen environment. My process begins with photography, capturing these scenes to later transform into paintings that emphasize the choreography of urban life. From street crossings to beach gatherings, I study the ways people navigate and interact with spaces constantly shaped by modern conditions and technology.
The beach, like the city, has its own dynamics—shaped by tides, entertainment, and privatization. The beachgoers, seated in clusters, seem like an audience facing the sea, with distances between groups forming invisible borders. My work examines these human behaviors, providing insight into how we experience and shape the spaces around us.”- Annabelle Shelton
