Aimée Parrott
Aimée Parrott’s practice comprises painting, printing, drawing, sculpture and installation. The artist’s understanding of painting, her primary medium, informs ideas expressed throughout her practice as a whole. Approaching the canvas as a fragile and permeable boundary - a metaphorical skin or body that holds the trace of time, thought and gesture - Parrott explores notions of transformation, connectivity and exchange. Parrott makes use of the fluidity of the mono-printing process to create bodies of work where rhythmic gestures and forms repeat seeming to echo; growing, fading, regenerating within a self perpetuating framework.
Recent works continue to explore the disjunction between internal sensations and exterior impressions with works that hover between gesture and form, suggesting hybridity, metamorphosis and a symbiotic blurring of boundaries.
Parrott was born in 1987 in Brighton, UK, where she currently lives and works.
