“Continuum”

This painting is about the continuous sequence of genes passing from mother to daughter and on through the generations. What makes us who we are and how many strands of DNA are influencing how we look, our likes and dislikes and the skills and talents that we develop?

Painted in acrylic layers on canvas. 59 x 42cm

About angela brittain

Each work I create has a search for “rightness” – an attempt to solve complex and often self-imposed compositional problems. They often have a tension below the surface. I work mainly in oil or acrylics on board. People fascinate me but I’m not sure that I made a conscious decision to make people central to my work or if this subject chose me. I have a Diploma in Art and Design and worked for several years as a graphic designer and illustrator before finally returning to my first love of drawing & painting in 2008. I have taught art to children and adults and currently offer one-to-one workshops from my home studio in West Sussex. I am a Member of the Society of Women Artists (SWA) and exhibit in London and the South.
