Kirsty Tanner is a Scottish artist now based in the North West of England. Working in acrylics, oils and found pigments like rust and plaster, she builds surfaces full of movement, light and richly layered texture. Tanner is drawn to the softness and transience of nature and where this meets the structure and geometry of our built environment. Her work explores how these two worlds interrupt and balance one another; wild shorelines intersected by the line of a harbour wall, morning skies broken by a glimpse of the city skyline. Tanner creates paintings that evoke a sense of space and calm, inviting people to slow down, notice and breathe.
