Solange is an artist working in Sussex, often outdoors in unforgiving conditions. Her dedication and loyalty to subject is evident in each intense mark. Incorporating atmosphere, line and technical skill, her works are immediately recognisable and are found in many private collections. An MA in Sustainable Design introduced gestural abstracts, focusing on opacities, interdependence, balance and the environment. She won support from Arts Council England to continue her environmental artistic research. Solange is on the advisory board of Forests Without Frontiers.
STUDIO SALE 2024
Week 2
'Towards the Light' - Bluescapes, Arts Council England
Supported by Arts Council England, these artworks explore concepts of sustainable time and duration. They are made using biodegradable materials and organic chemistry - cyanotypes and photograms. They examine the balance between that which needs to last or leave no trace on the planet and explore concepts of complexities, opacity, movement and interdependence. A return to light working from the dark hours of the night.
'Towards the Light' - Sustainable Practice & Toning, Arts Council England.
Explorative work generously funded by ARTS COUNCIL England, including The Sustainable Darkroom & ONCA Gallery in Brighton. I am grateful to all those artists who taught me and inspired me along the way, and whose ideas and views are intertwined here with my own. Special thanks to rare textiles collector and Renaissance woman Esther Fitzgerald and to the incomparable pen and mind of writer Holly Dawson.
