Eve Pettitt is an English artist, living and working in London. Her practice explores the exquisite wonders of nature and the human spirit, delving into both their presence and absence in space. She searches to crystallise on canvas the unselfconscious present state of being of the natural world; a sense of mortality clashes with vivid embodiment. Eve’s work is often autobiographical, delving into memory and reflecting her state of mind. She seeks to convey the heartfelt succour that nature gives to loneliness and solitude. Her oil paintings are songs to felt- sensations experienced in nature, they are odes full of gratitude and respect to the landscape and the natural world.

Eve’s practice is deeply concerned with the poetry of colour. She explores what happens when two colours meet, how they dance side by side and what occurs at the borderline. Drawing inspiration from the shallow planes of modernism, she builds form through geometric shapes, clear facets and defined edges. Each of her paintings expresses a personal approach to the dynamic articulation of colour, and this ravenous enquiry results in works that are exuberant and deeply expressive.
