Michelle Parsons works from organic forms including lobsters, fish and birds. Her style has an adaptive reverence for the subject and yet does not rely on it; elevating the forms with bright use of colour and suggestive mark-making. The resulting pieces are proud declarations of colour and expression. Colour, depth, texture and contrast – does is matter if it looks like a lobster or a fish? Not really… She specialises in monoprint, etching and lino printmakng alongside large-scale oil paintings, working with interior designers, restaurants and private clients worldwide. Michelle Parsons has exhibited extensively in London and East Anglia since graduating from Newcastle Polytechnic in 1989 with a BA (hons) in Fine Art Printmaking. She opens her studio every summer as part of the Suffolk Opera Studios group and is a member of the Ipswich Art Society. “Close-up organic forms create an abstracted expressive surface based on space, light, colour and texture. A sense of depth; blurred backgrounds and loose brushstrokes contrast with sharp detail and tighter representational mark-making. The longer I create, the more I realise that my work is all about the composition as a whole.”
