Daisy Parris – «All My Storms»

Daisy Parris is a painter of psychological space. Direct text-based works and abstract paintings are made up of a vernacular that has developed through experience, relationships and through the depths and peaks of their human existence thus far. The paintings are mostly large-format and colourful and thrive on the fact that the harmony of the large, brightly coloured oil paintings is interrupted by strips of linen with inscriptions.

Parris brings intimacy, insight and integrity to their paintings with great psychological and emotional force. Their work is imbued with the sensitivity of one who feels everything, taking us through unflinching narratives and moments of reflection and tenderness. An ode to human existence, their work is sometimes silent, sometimes savage, with paintings that construct self-portraits of personal battles and triumphs in a fast moving yet contemplative assault on the canvas.

Parris was born in Kent and lives and works between London and Somerset (UK).
