Collections: New Neutrals

FEATURED BELOW

---

What typically pops up when you think of 'neutral colours' ? Probably the classic black, white and greys, or even something within the beige-taupe spectrum. While those certainly may evoke a sense of timelessness, they're also birthed from a concept more centered on minimalism.

'New neutrals' still focus on muted colour palettes, but with a subtle boldness that doesn't fade into the background. These evolved neutral colours essentially draw inspiration from the organic dyes and raw materials found in nature.

Soft pistachio greens to warm blush pinks, burnished champagnes to toasty terracottas, or chocolate browns and shadowy blues - all of these serve to create a new, modern definition of timelessness, whilst continuing to be perfect for any season.

​My work begins with a feeling of a landscape but progresses to a color exploration and a desecration or falling apart of the composition, letting go the prescribed visual references to a landscape and allowing me (and the viewer) to wander and explore. I use a palette knife to apply the oils to give a tactile quality and enhance the painterly and gesture activity."

​Viewing and painting a land “sweep” or landscape, I express myself through personal reflection. Memories of the past infuse my current vision and I willingly allow the two to combine—past and present mental visions, a blended perspective into my voice. "
