SUMMARY:: INNSiDE: Natalie Gilmore - 'Neon Nature'
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nJoin us on 17th April\, 5pm-7pm at INNSiDE hotel for drin
 ks and canapes for the launch of 'Neon Nature' by Natalie Gilmore.\n\nRSV
 P HERE\n\nI graduated 1996 with a degree in Fine Art Painting &amp\; Print
 making from Bretton Hall College\, Leeds University. Since then\, I’ve f
 ollowed a different career path working within public finance and the cult
 ural sector. However\, making art has consistently been an important part 
 of my life and I try to spend as much time as possible in my studio.\n\nKn
 owsley is my home\, so I’ve been lucky to grow up with access to incredi
 ble green spaces. I currently live in Prescot and have a respect for the e
 nergy of the place. Having a sense of connection to place is very importan
 t to me and the more time I spend appreciating my town and city\, the more
  related I feel.\n\nTo celebrate that connection\, I make work about place
 s I’ve visited that have had an impact on me\, particularly if I’ve sh
 ared these experiences with the people I care about. I work mainly in acry
 lics\, layering colours to create depth and contrast.\n\nThe paintings in 
 ‘Neon Nature’ feature dense\, vibrant foliage – ferns in shades of e
 lectric blue and lime green. I love to get in close and represent the twis
 ting vines and glowing fruits and set these against outrageous backgrounds
  of saturated colour.\n\nI paint in a highly detailed way\, thousands of l
 ines and dashes on top of an expressive free flowing base layer. All the p
 aintings in this exhibition are about observation and understanding. In ma
 ny cases\, instead of standing back and admiring the full landscape\, I fo
 cus on small areas – the shapes\, the colours\, texture.\n\nFor me\, pai
 nting is about capturing the energy and movement of the environment\, rath
 er than trying to create a perfect replica of it. I want my work to feel a
 live - like stepping into a crazy electric forest just as the sun is risin
 g. I get my biggest inspiration from nature\, and I’m constantly taken b
 y the diversity of shape\, colour and structure in the world right around 
 us.\n\nAll artwork is for sale.\n\nFirst Floor\, INNSiDE by Melia hotel Li
