Yvette Blackwood

Yvette plays with the tension that occurs when control is disrupted within intimate spaces. She is interested in moments of change, exploring notions of inclusivity versus alienation. Taking inspiration from daily colour-saturated backdrops and the human condition, Yvette uses paint to create abstract portals to somewhere and something else within this age of anxiety.​

Yvette Blackwood is originally from Brighton. She has lived and worked in London since 2002. Yvette has a BA in English/Art History from the University of York, she is a qualified picture restorer and an autodidact abstract painter. She has also worked collaboratively under the names Stan's LIFT and Transition Collective.
