About:
Artist Iantha Newton
A, North
London University, England
The current
works began as a series of paintings that originate from
unconscious memory. In the past the central figures in the
paintings have inhabited solitary minimalist environments
however more recently these paintings are tending to
incorporate bustling landscapes.
For me the
landscape element is a great metaphor for resurrection,
restoration, and healing. The embryonic-like, or petri dish,
stage of the figures are sometimes alluded to and are depicted
in the form of raised (sculptural) or flat elements which are
sometimes abstracted out into pattern. These paintings will
usually consist of three or more sections butted together and
permanently attached to each other to form one whole. It is my
intention that these images echo the beauty of our existence
and are for me, a celebration of life and creativity.
Iantha Newton
is a native of London, England, but has resided in Tennessee
for the last 11 years with her fellow artist and husband,
Charlie.
