Browse & Darby is delighted to announce an exhibition of recent work by Kate Corbett-Winder. An avid gardener and equally talented artist, the two disciplines have, over the last decade, become inextricably linked. This exhibition showcases Corbett-Winder’s passion for and understanding of plants, colour, and their constant evolution brought about by the changing seasons.
"As a passionate gardener and artist, it is hard to separate my studio from the garden and landscape beyond. There is an overlap thinking about colour, shape and light and how the atmosphere changes through the year. I love the greenness and optimism of spring before summer arrives when the crowd of saturated colours clamour for attention.
I immerse myself in the chaos of entwined plants - then retreat to the studio with a head full of images to translate into paint on canvas, never as an accurately botanical version, but my version at a remove".
– Kate Corbett-Winder
Painting predominantly from her studio, surrounded by the verdant gardens of her home in Wales, From the Garden is a true ode to both passions of the artist’s life. Corbett-Winder works mostly in oil to produce pictures of remarkable depth and sensitivity, fuelled by her love of the land and flowers tended carefully over the years.
