This November, Camilla Perkins will take over the RHODES Project Room with a vibrant new series of her signature maximalist florals.
Perkins creates dreamscapes and still lifes brimming with pattern and texture, presenting them as little windows that transport the viewer into a tranquil garden full of flowers or a favourite summer holiday. She is an acclaimed British artist and illustrator based in Lewes, East Sussex, whose practice explores the profound impact of colour on memory. Her creations become portals to dreamlike landscapes of summer getaways and emerald gardens.
In her art practice, Perkins uses vibrant oil pastels and paint to achieve a surreal colour palette. Combined with bold and dynamic brushwork, these materials produce thick, visible strokes reminiscent of the post-impressionist tradition, creating dreamscapes and still lifes filled with texture.
Her large-scale oil paintings of gardens bursting with life are filled with pattern and almost invite the viewer to step right into them.
