Vicki Clark is based in the South West of England. Since leaving the Royal College of Art in 1985 she enjoyed a successful career in the fashion industry. The opportunity and inspiration to paint arose when moving from London to Dorset in 1996 then Cornwall in 2007. Her paintings are an emotive response to the landscape where the place, subject matter and moment in time are the starting pint. This is presented through the physical and gestured application of the paint. Through this language of marks the onlooker is invited to step into and become encompassed by the landscape as experienced by the artist. The work hopes to honestly reflect the presence of the subject matter and bring to light those things that are vital, transient and fragile.
