COME SEE COMME CA at The Lowry Hotel

LAURA PEDLEY

50 DEARMANS PLACE | MANCHESTER | M3 5LH | EX DATES: 22.09.22 - 14.11.22

 

Originally from Kent, Manchester based abstract landscape artist Laura Pedley moved to the North West to undertake her BA in Embroidery at the Manchester School of Art (MMU) in 2001. Rediscovering her creativity as she experienced motherhood for the first time led to painting as a way to process the challenges the changing seasons of her life brought. Her creative practice evolved over time as a way to express the deep intake of breath and inner settled-ness she encounters out in wild places. Using acrylic paint primarily on wood panels, Laura seeks to recreate the peace she has found and share her experiences with the viewer, abstracting the landscape in order to create a more emotional experience for the viewer emulating the experiences Laura herself has had.

​

Laura’s work has featured widely in exhibitions across the UK and at several prominent art fairs in London, and is held in private collections across the world. She continues to produce commissions for private clients and designers and to create new self-initiated pieces to explore the boundaries of her practice.

​

Laura is an abstract landscape painter based in Manchester. Her paintings explore the deep emotional connection she feels to the natural landscape, and her experience of finding sanctuary and an internal peace there during stormy seasons of life. Laura is looking for the tensions between order and chaos, drawing inspiration from the transitions between different layers found within the landscape to create works that invite the viewer to share in her experiences.

 

Creating these atmospheric and peaceful paintings Laura layers rich blues and greens, bleeding into soft pinks and peaches, seeking to capture and abstract the essence of spacious landscapes, seascapes and skies. In mapping out the layers and rhythms that create beauty in the midst of uncertainty, her aim is to capture the delicate balance holding up the world around us.
