Vanessa Brassey
Inks and Oil paints on various surfaces (paper, metal, wood)
Vanessa is a figurative painter motivated by the exploration of emotions, memory, and dreams. She is inspired by the transcendence many experience
when 'wild' swimming - in ponds, lakes, and the sea. She documents these moments of euphoria felt from immersing in cool and fresh waters.
Her work has been described as ‘joyful’ and pushing a ‘mischievous and irreverent use of colour’ to heighten the mood. Her painting blends direct observation with photographic evidence and a bright palette to convey the quicksilver of our lives. She seeks to capture a range of transient feelings
that momentarily pass over us during our day. She has exhibited several times in London, including most recently at the Mall Galleries near Buckingham Palace and the Affordable Art Fairs.
