ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I always like to have fun with my paintings. Its safe to say I LOVE bright colours & my paintings are not for the twee. Not all art work has to be deep and meaningful. You can have humour and sometimes it just doesn't make sense, my favourite. This painting is another one of my favourites and sparks the most conversation when it has been seen by the public. Purely for what people see and interpret from it and then they read the title. "It looks like an abstract landscape/city skyline....o its a meant to be a unicorn" Some then see it and others remain puzzled, there is no wrong reaction or answer. A Unicorn is a total fantasy creature, made up, does not exist. When I finished this piece, I looked at it for ages and could see the architectural representation, but I also saw a deconstructed or splattered unicorn, how different could it get. A bright and colourful original piece of art that can be anything you want, hence the completely random nonsense title. Remember they don't exist. The paint has been applied using ink rollers, brushes, palette knives, scrapers and sprayed (aerosol). Lines have been aided with masking tape or free hand. Colour palette: White, Oranges (inc. fluorescent orange), blues, taupes, browns & fluorescent yellow. My paintings are never an entirely flat/smooth surface. Layers and layers of paint are used creating natural lumps and bumps across the canvas, sometimes completely intentional and sometimes not. I use lots of different paint types, experimenting with texture and the final finishes you can achieve with each one. All 4 canvas sides/edges are finished with a white emulsion. The edges will not always be totally smooth, as there may be some lumps and bumps from paint that has run over the sides and some of the colours may still be ever so slightly visible. The name (Left) and number (Right) of the artwork is handwritten on the back of the canvas on the top stretcher bar, not usually visible. Just lift up the bit of canvas below the staples and there it will be. *Please note: There are no fixings in place for hanging, nor do I supply these. This is up to yourself the buyer to decide and execute depending on whether you want the artwork to hang in situ framed or un-framed.*

Sophie Gradden is a Contemporary artist born in Buckinghamshire. Home & studio are based in Deptford - South East London. Successfully completing her Art foundation in 2004 at the University of Gloucestershire going on to further her studies at Bristol UWE in a degree of Fine Art. Not completing her degree due to pursuing a career in interior design, her art skills were not lost, just tucked away for a while. In 2016 Sophie reignited her love for painting and set up a makeshift studio in her home and began creating, whilst working full time. Exposing, for the first time, her artistic world to the public at Windsor Contemporary Art Fair. Since then, the art continues. In April 2018 a decision was made to dedicate herself to her art full time, no more 9-5, just painting! Inspired by colour & shape. Creating textures, layers, a juxtaposition of clean/ordered/solid with undefined/chaotic/broken areas. Bold striking colours, complimented by muted tones that capture and disarm the viewer. Preferring the medium of a Acrylic, Sophie also loves to experiment with household emulsions, spray paint, chalks and pastels.
