Angie Seaway

Angie Seaway is an Expressive Landscape artist. She paints the British obsession with the weather and its impact on the East Devon coastline where she lives and paints. After extensive travelling she
realised that as a country we comment upon it frequently and with fervour and her paintings are a celebration of that. Her new work includes a cliffscape viewpoint drawn from the idea of lying on your tummy on the top of a cliff and looking through an abundance of natural biodiversity. She is seeking to rewild these habitats one painting at a time.

 

The paintings begin ‘en plein air’, out on the beaches and cliffs in all seasons, with all the inherent risks this brings such as seagulls flying off with paint tubes, chasing canvases down the beach and extra bits of texture as the sand lands on the wet paintings! Then the work is brought back to the studio and a semi abstract layer of flowers and vegetation built up in the  foregrounds.Her paintings reflect the impact of the weather on the scene being portrayed and the dance between sea, sand and sky and her emotional and expressive response to it and the changes brought to it because of our climate crisis.

 

Paint is poured over lines of charcoal and ink with glazes and textures added as she works. She wants the paintings to look and feel like they have been painted with paint unashamedly behaving like paint…even with clumps and drips. Foregrounds are then painstakingly added using acrylic inks and fluid acrylics.

A celebration of colour, bio diversity and our fabulous British coastline.
