Gabriella Boyd
[My art is about] space between our physical experience of the world and our mental understanding of it; the meeting of those can be quite clumsy, or complicated, or at odds with each other. In that messy territory I seek out tenderness, humor, discomfort through paint.

Gabriella Boyd's (1988, Glasgow) enormous paintings combine figurative and surrealistic elements. She draws inspiration from photographs, drawings and memories. These are translated into combinations of contrasting color blocks, structural motives and recognizable shapes. The result is a dream-like representation of reality, with no clear ending. In her creative process, it is never determined what the work will eventually look like.
