Sally Heywood
About the artist...
Sally Heywood was born in Liverpool in 1964. She studied at Oxford
University and the Royal Academy Schools. She was awarded a fellowship
in painting at Gloucestershire College of Art & Design.
Awarded a British Council scholarship in 1990, she moved to Berlin where
she lived and worked for 10 years. Recently she returned to England.
Her work can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, as
well as in many private and corporate collections.
Colour and surface dominate Heywood's work. She works with rich, vociferous
colours in complex layers, swathes and trails of thick paint. The heavily
worked surfaces become a form of landscape to themselves. Heywood leaves
it to the spectator to discover the inherent qualities of this landscape.
Her latest works are instinctively abstract. Figurative elements have
been replaced by emotional responses to events and places. These triggers
can be as diverse as a trip to the coast, or the darker emotion of watching
a commemorative ceremony for Kristallnacht.
Heywood achieves the intensity of her paintings by applying the
paint with her hands and with shapes cut out of cardboard. The paint
is also thrown against the surface and then manipulated. MORE...
