About the Item

Abstract painter, Sophie Capron born 1982, studied BA Hons Textile Art at Winchester School of Art. During this period she did textile training in Japan. In 2018 she completed a residency with Picture Berlin and exhibited her work in Berlin. Sophie’s work is inspired by the erosion of our urban environment, and the relationship between humans and nature, building up sgraffito (scratch) mark making into layers of recycled paint to reference this. “Through using everyday ‘domestic’ recycled materials, my work is part of a historical process. Whether it is the surplus material from a friend refurbishing their front room or a paint donation from a neighbour emptying their shed, what I use has been on a journey. My art aims to convey the marks of time and the processes of nature. Using left over material, I am working with my own intentions but also the remnants of other people’s handy work and choices”.

Quorum

(Comes framed in a deep-profile maple or black floater frame, ready to hang.) Artist's Statement: "This painting harkens back to my 'Gridish' series but with more negative space, a broader array of media and more complexity to the oval forms. I have tried to create tension between these iconic forms through the divergence of dissonant and unusual materials, colors and textures. These ovals keep reappearing in my work; they seem almost like groups of silent but sentient beings to me." “Lyman’s work evolves restlessly, with the common elements generally being deft and unusual color choices that balance assonance and dissonance, and vestiges of the hand and facture purposely left in the paintings. The negative space is often so meticulously worked that it’s almost as if the objects – usually simple shapes – are there as much to complement the background as vice versa. Despite the often bold colors there is an elegance about his paintings that prevents them from being either loud or decorative. " Artbeit Zeitschrift “His paintings are a refreshing departure from the current abstract art world’s seemingly endless parade of fields of color with scribbles providing form, a style that is easily mimicked and has become a sort of “safe,” accessible go-to. There are confident decisions in these paintings appearing as commitments of strongly delineated forms and unexpected collisions of color that give the work a visceral, confident and playful soul, increasingly missing from contemporary expressionist abstraction. They are the paintings of a real painter rather than a decorative artist.” ArtSeen, 2018 (from a collector): "Love your work. We collect colorists like Wolf Kahn and Jennifer Bartlett, whom I commissioned a piece from that is in the entrance of Mayo Clinic. We are old fans...
