Hazel Battersby
Hazel Battersby is a Scottish artist, based in York.
Hazel’s paintings are inspired by landscape but remain essentially abstract. The forms, colours and textures of landscape inform her work. Inspiration often comes from visiting remote locations within the UK, observing and experiencing dramatic landscapes. The act of walking, exploring and observing the ever-changing environment is part of the journey and process. Through exploration of mark-making, drawing and collage, both abstract and descriptive properties develop, and as they extend into paintings this continues to shift and change. Hazel’s work draws inspiration from the experience of landscape but develops through the physical process of painting. Hazel has exhibited her work throughout the UK.
“I enjoy the initial marks that are made, the conversational layers that respond to develop a painting. Back in the studio, a process of building up the physical layers of paint and media helps to encourage depth of mark-making, colour and shifts in composition. There is a sense of discovery through painting, building up and removing layers and the emergence of an image, that somehow takes command of the painting.”
