Colourscapes: A New Solo Show by Emma Hill

Emma Hill is an abstract artist working in acrylics, exploring joy in colour, capturing the beauty of the wild and the unseen pattern of the seemingly mundane in nature.

Emma's paintings are intuitive, raw, and self-expressive, blurring the lines between impressionism and graffiti. Instead of following a traditional sense of recording by recognition, her use of colour and texture, document her emotions, as a memory of a time and a place.

Woking-based, Emma has travelled globally to discover new styles of art, been exhibited across the world, led corporate artistic projects for Arthouse Unlimited, and became one of Liberty’s Open Call Winners in 2019. She works intuitively, exploring the realms of emotions through colour.

Emma draws from all of her senses, as her paintings take shape in spectrums of colour embodying the seven Chakras in a magical dance. Central to her creative process are daily early morning walks through her local woods and fields, which serve as a wellspring of inspiration, infusing her paintings with an organic beauty. She describes her paintings as inner maps, landscapes of the soul, doorways to a higher self.

"My painting is about feeling. It’s a map, an inner landscape of light, colour and energy, vibrating on a higher frequency, sharing love and joy, uniting and connecting. It’s a dance of differences, in the swoop and swathes of colour to the rhythmic high and lows of zigzagging. It is, our hearts beating, excited and feeling alive, the connection between mind, body and soul."
