Plein-Air Painter - Sculptor - Photographer

Kitty Sullivan (b.1981) is a graduate of The Byam Shaw School of Art, London (2005). She is an award-winning multi-media artist.

“I am currently working on a body of work exploring the relationship between nature and the emotive response: primarily ceramic hares and Plein-Air landscapes.

Working with clay, given its ability to ‘remember’ flaws has developed my practice of looking and questioning the subject matter. Form, whether it’s that of a wild animal or sweeping Italian landscape, is always so much more complicated then your eye would like to believe it is. The more you look: the more you see”

Her photography has been exhibited internationally. She was the winner of Jerwood’s ‘Young Photographer of the Year’ award (2004). Her photography has been published by The Guardian, The Times, The Observer, Bloodaxe Books, Poetry Review and Shersman Publishers.

 

“Plein Air painting is the emotional response to a given landscape. Usually, oil on linen, painted outside so wet paint over wet paint. It tends to mean the work is more decisive and expresses as a result”
