Angela Bull at Artists at the Howard Centre

My paintings are inspired by being outdoors and active. I love to walk through the landscape which continually offers new and unexpected moments of inspiration. I am always exploring and can be captivated for ages by what I find – whether it’s stunning colour combination, a vast open space, intricate close up details or something beyond what I see with my physical eyes. I capture these experiences by taking photos, making sketches, even sound recordings. I take these elements, along with my memory and experience of the place back to the studio.

I then combine these elements together to make paintings, daring to juxtapose different things together and see what happens, and keeping my love of exploring alive by being playful and experimenting with different materials and processes. I build each painting in layers to create depth. My initial layers begin intuitively, using a variety of different mixed media and expressive mark-making. I then develop the painting with acrylic, seeing an image emerge from the initial layers. I finish in oil paint, using glaze to add further depth and bring out the vibrant colour I love so much.

I view life as an adventure, so I want people to discover things in my paintings that aren’t immediately obvious, things that spark curiosity. I want people to experience a sense of freedom, connection, wonder and beauty in my work.
