ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In my study of the effects of light on ballet shoes in use, I developed 'En Pointe'. I wanted to focus on positive and negative space within the view, whilst using a single shade. The black ink allowed me to make a bold statement, allowing the viewer to continue the edging of the legs and feet. I was inspired by artists' including Patrick Caulfield and Picasso. Their simplified use of line and colour provide a sense of three-dimensionality and transparency. Ink drawing on 220gsm smooth surface cartridge paper. Paper Size: 16.6" x 11.75" (42cm x 29.7cm).

I am Sian Pritchard, a predominantly self-taught artist, with experience of studying fine art at undergraduate level. My background is varied, having studied for a BSc degree in Biology and Geography, and recently an MSc in Computer Science. I have always enjoyed spending time developing my artistic skills alongside these subjects. I mostly work with paint, inks and digital media. My works concentrate on colour and tone, with each piece designed to produce a bold effect. I have worked with acrylics for a number of years. This became one of my favoured mediums, due its versatility. Experimenting with mixed media allows me to make further discoveries as I work. My designs are generally planned, rather than instant, but more ideas develop whilst I am working on a project. I gain inspiration from a variety of contemporary and traditional artists. I particularly like pop art, impressionist and art deco works, and am currently concentrating on combining these styles. I prefer to work in bright colours, and I consider this combination carefully in advance.
