Abstract Workshop with Sally Coulden

Sally’s instinctive approach to painting is predominantly abstract. It’s important for her to work with a strong vibrant colour palate which she uses to translate her energy and vigour into her work. She tends to work on large canvases or perspex, which provides room to be expressive in an expansive non-contained way! Bigger the better!
Sally applies gestural mark-making and a consideration of line to abstract figurative complexity whilst delivering expressive and emotional imagery. Her preference is to work with a strong colour palette on large surfaces, inspired by artists such as Richard Diebenkorn, Hans Hofmann, Barbara Rae, James Turrell and John Hoyland. Her experiences in art making has allowed her to reflect on the continued influence of her childhood growing up in rural Norfolk, and the travel and cultural experiences that her professional life afforded. Much of these experiences evoke a sense of non-containment, and she often thinks of her painting practice as an attempt to frame infinity.
