Metamorphosis Artwork

RUTH CLOTWORTHY Mutant Space: Clotworthy’s aesthetic has something in common with Neo – Primitivism and Expressionism, her work beginning in life before being disrupted by dramatic scratches, broad brushstrokes and wild mark making that gives her work a violence, the high contrasts and textures adding a fury and dramatic tension to each composition. Completely self taught Clotworthy’s artistic process is a good example of how the lack of formal art education can free you from the constraints of academic theory, allows you to express and reflect the life around you, as you see it, experience it. Still young Clotworthy is one to watch, her work developing all the time, her knowledge of digital manipulation growing everyday. Copyrighted Ruth Clotworthy
