About the Tree Painting collection:
"As an artist, I immerse myself in the ethereal beauty of nature, finding solace and inspiration within the ancient woods. With each stroke of my brush, in vibrant hues of Gouache, I paint trees that stand tall amidst the unpredictable chaos of life. To me, these woods symbolise the duality of existence, where life and death intermingle seamlessly."
"Through my art, I explore the profound metaphor of finding order in chaos. The timeless wisdom and resilience of trees teach us to embrace the ebb and flow of nature's cycle, reminding us that even in the face of impermanence, harmony can be found."
About Beverley Isaacs
"I am a London born artist making figurative expressionist paintings from life. Using a variety of mark making techniques and rapid brush strokes - my aim is to express the movement and lyrical quality of my subjects."
"My fascination in capturing movement stems from the belief that everything we encounter around us has a vibrational energy, and has therefore always been the driving force behind my work. In this respect I began the first 10 years of my career making short stop-frame animation films, before venturing to Mexico to develop my work as a painter between 2005-11. In Mexico I settled in Oaxaca and began selling my paintings in the street, which resulted in a solo exhibition “Momentos Musicales” at the “Museo del Palacio” in Oaxaca City."
"Since returning to London I've shown in several group and solo exhibitions, shortlisted twice for NOA (2014 and 2016) , exhibited at The 83rd London Group Open (2017), Selected for The WAC Awards 2018 (Wells Art Contemporary). I took part in the Venice Biennale 2019, Exhibited at The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition 2019, and awarded a New English Artist Club drawing scholarship (2018-19), culminating in The NEAC Annual exhibition 2019 at The Mall Galleries. I was also selected as an open participant in their 2020 Annual exhibition."
"My current studio (since 2019) is based in High Barnet, North London. Previously I lived and worked in Mornington Crescent in the studio next door to Frank Auerbach where we enjoyed many interesting conversations about art and life, on the doorstep or when putting out the rubbish; which had a profound impact on my experience as an artist."
