Natalie Bell's work



Symbiosis - 76 x 76 cm - Acrylic on canvas

Natalie's work is playful and concise. Using underpainting and then building up in layers Natalie manages to build up worlds to explore. At the exhibition we have two series the 'Nanobot' & 'Microbes' that showing how Natalie explores the idea of science and that which we can not see or know. Using this method the work speaks not only of an other worldliness but reflects on the world itself; though what is left and whats taken out, systems start to build up. These could be roads, houses or and number of islands and as a viewer you are pulled into explore and make connection. The work has a quality whereby you can go back and back to each painting and find new depths, making them exciting pieces to live with.
