Solange Leon Iriarte

... is a Scottish - Chilean artist and interdisciplinary designer living and working in Sussex, often outdoors in unforgiving conditions. Her training as an architect strongly influences her work and her passion for drawing. She feels the liveliness of line work helps her weave the complexity of the movement of both subject and space, capturing the distinct feel of a place. Her dedication and loyalty to her subjects is evident in each intense mark on the paper. Incorporating atmosphere, line and technical skill, her works are immediately recognisable and are now found in many private collections. Her MA in Sustainable Design opened the way to new gestural abstract work focusing on opacities, interdependence, balance and our relationship to Time and how it impacts the environment. Solange also sits on the advisory board of Forests Without Frontiers.
