LORRAINE PLATT

British painter Lorraine Platt graduated in 1984 from the University of London with a joint honours degree in Fine Art and English Literature.

My paintings often feature elaborate compositions of still lifes, others are more simple but they are also strong in their simplicity and mood. My work offers a broad panorama of influences. The paintings themselves are often inhabited by a host of glowing colours. I studied Van Gogh, Matisse and Gaugain as an art student and am influenced by these artists mostly.

The application of paint is thick and often heavily textured. I like to place layer upon layer to arrive at a subtle luminosity of colour and depth. I place great emphasis on colour and the mood it can evoke in each spectator. Glowing oranges and hot pinks are often placed alongside cool turquoises and slate greys

Her work is an exploration of colour and form, often featuring colourful landscapes and exotic flowers.
