WILD WITHIN
An exhibition bringing together the work of five female abstract artists from Bristol. Four painters and one ceramicist.
ARTISTS: Danielle Neill, Emily Gibbard, Jazz Potter, Jenni Stuart & Sky Siouki
‘Wild Within’ is an exciting collaboration of five women abstract artists who will be holding our first exhibition together this Autumn. We have a shared passion for exploring abstraction each in our own individual ways. The title Wild Within encapsulates a combination of the idea of wild women who are independent and unwilling to take the traditional path, and the process of expressing what we each hold within into their art.
We are united by our expressive approach; unbound and wild, we each create based on what we feel. Our work empowers our femininity and honours our connection to nature, from vivid colour and rich texture to playful forms and raw emotion.
Although each artist’s work pulls from different themes and inspirations, we share a brave and bold sense of femininity at the heart of each of our practices. For some of us it manifests visually as curvaceous feminine forms and self reflections, for others it’s motherhood and reconnecting with our childhood roots. For some of us our femininity is more about spiritual empowerment, allowing nature and our intuition to lead us, tapping into our deepest emotions and channeling that into our work. For all of us, our art is an outlet, an expression and a voice that we perhaps wouldn’t feel comfortable or able to share without paint or clay leading the way.
