Henrietta Stuart New Work

My formative influences included Georgio Morandi, Paul Cézanne, Georges Braque, Mark Rothko, Robert Motherwell, and Clyfford Still. Morandi is remembered for pointing out that "There is nothing more abstract than the visible world". I in my own way set out to make abstract compositions out of things I have seen, and been moved by: "A world observed and translated – a world created from the natural and the man-made 'still life': a still life both drawn and felt, as one would admire and caress a well-loved jug, or wonder at the light on the water of the Thames on a calm spring morning".

“Henrietta’s journeys through landscape allow her to absorb not only the visual evidence but the breezes and winds, the smells, the heat and the cold.”
