PRISCILLA WATKINS is an oil painter and a printmaker and her subject is swimming. She is a regular at Brockwell Lido where she finds the unique combination of figure, pattern and light in the water allows her to explore the emotional depths of the human experience and make art that both inspires and consoles. She is fascinated by the pattern of light on the floor of a sunlit swimming pool. The mesmerising beauty of chaos, endlessly looping and repeating.
Always the same and yet never the same. Like a poet, she distils that complex visual information down as far as it will go and tries to say more with less. Her art helps you see that it’s the darkness that makes the light brighter and to choose to be in the moment and to live life with joy.
When you visit you will find Priscilla’s signature oil paintings – some very small and affordable – plus new screen prints, unique mono prints and a wide range of cards.. www.priscillawatkinsart.co.uk or Instagram @phthaloturquoisstudio
