Artwork by Carly Ashdown 10 Artworks
Carly Ashdown
Carly Ashdowns' paintings are a celebration of life. Imaginative, expressive, dynamic and vibrant. Drawing upon the deeply felt but unnameable experience of being alive, Carly uses paint and other media to create a myriad of emotions which echo the human experience. She aims for her work to invite the viewers to, step into and experience beyond what we are accustomed to in our everyday lives.
After completing an Art and Design degree focusing on film and photography, Carly went on to enjoy a flourishing career in television, working for organisations such as the BBC and Channel 4. But eventually Carly's instinct to draw and paint deposed her previous career path, and she began to hone her skill. She soon because fascinated by what paint is capable and it's ability to seduce the viewer through illusion.
She's particularly fascinated by the illusory quality paint offers "after all it's just paint, or 'matter', yet working with is opens doorways to a new paradigm. I often find myself in a dialogue with the painting, listening to what's being asked of me. I know in the first 10 to 20 minutes if I'm creating something with magic in it."
