Bex Wilkinson

Bex Wilkinson's paintings can be described as a vivid exploration of the abstract and figurative, where the visceral meets the ephemeral. Her work is a dance of colors and forms, a visual symphony that captures the complexities of emotion and the subtleties of the human condition. Wilkinson’s technique is reminiscent of the action painting of the Abstract Expressionists. Yet, it bears a personal stamp that is undeniably unique. The dynamic strokes, the splattering of paint, and the bold, sometimes almost violent application of color, create a sense of movement that is almost palpable. There is an urgency in her brushwork, a need to convey not just an image but a sensation, a feeling, an experience.

Interview with Bex Wilkinson

Your approach to painting is characterized by bold brushstrokes and a free-form application of paint. How do these techniques help you express the 'mess' of the human experience?

As John Lennon says, "LIfe is the thing that happens when you are making other plans." Yep. We may think we are moving in one direction and then POP! something happens and we find ourselves in a completely different direction. Now, I'm sure that some people lay out their life plans and follow it to a tee. But for the rest of us, it's a mess. It's a beautiful, turgid ride- this Being Human.
