About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online. "Granini Beach" by Annabelle Shelton transforms the traditional beach scene into a vivid, abstract impressionist composition, filled with the vibrancy and energy of a sun-soaked summer day.
Painted in watercolour on aluminium, this piece is finished with a sleek sprayed lacquer, lending a modern feel to the nostalgic imagery of beachgoers lounging under brightly colored umbrellas. The crowding of figures and parasols towards the center of the composition contrasts with the vast negative space, emphasizing both the density and the openness of the beach experience. The kaleidoscope of patterns and hues—from vibrant stripes to softer pastels—captures the joyful chaos of a busy summer beach, evoking the warmth of the sun and the sounds of the shore.
Shelton’s abstract impressionist approach layers light, playful brushstrokes with the cool, hard surface of aluminium, creating a visually engaging juxtaposition of softness and strength. The whimsical arrangement of umbrellas and figures allows the eye to wander across the canvas, discovering new details with each glance.
For collectors and enthusiasts alike, "Granini Beach" is available for acquisition at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea and online, offering a delightful and timeless depiction of beach culture 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.

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
