ARTIST BIO
After completing a degree in fine art and sculpture at Norwich School of Art and Design in 2000, Natalie Bell undertook a degree in ceramics and glass at Sunderland University. Natalie is now based in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Natalie’s new series of paintings - ‘Order From Chaos - Flora’, is a counterbalance to her previous landscape paintings created whilst temporarily living in the wilds of Northumberland.
These colourful floral works are a response to having lived in the countryside, and an attempt to recapture a romanticised view of nature that was lost by the reality of living away. Having come to terms with the fact that it was an idealised view of the countryside that drew her to live there, she is now trying to capture an essence of the colour and magic of the natural world, that previously existed in her imagination.
‘The paintings start life as a mass of chaotic of colour that is quickly applied to the whole canvas,’ Natalie explains. ‘White paint is then meticulously applied thinly, layer by layer, until the paintings form themselves out of the chaos.’
The resulting paintings have a mystical feel. Beautifully organic floral forms, flow around the canvas, creating depths in which to lose yourself, not unlike an enchanted forest.
