About

Caitriona Forsyth is a a contemporary Irish artist based in the south coast of England.

“I work intuitively, using a call and response approach. My process begins with a series of marks, each one a response to the previous. I use various different implements; trowels, palette knives, silicone scrapers, tools, sandpaper and brushes to achieve layers and depth, a push and pull flow of layering and scraping back, often encompassing the passage of time.

My influences are varied; a momentary event, a dance, a piece of music, a poem, the depiction of someone or something in it’s natural environment, a moment of juxtaposition, a realistic landscape, the human form or an emotive response. My technique can render realistic forms or scenes, familiar outlines or abstract expression”.
